Designed to promote physical, social and cognitive development in children 1-6 years old
At Bright Stars, we know that there is no better time for your children to grow and learn more rapidly than from the age of 1 until they enter Kindergarten. Our preschool classes and gymnastics lesson plans were designed with that in mind. All of our preschool gymnastics classes are taught in our Sweet Peas gym, a gym area specifically designated with preschool equipment. Your child will participate in age-appropriate activities designed to enhance coordination, strength, flexibility, hand-eye coordination, and exploration while learning gymnastics on specially designed equipment just their size.
Our primary goal is to create a fun environment where we build a strong foundation of gymnastics skills to take them wherever they choose to go in sports. All of our preschool classes have an ideal child/instructor ratio which allows the instructor to have more time to focus on each child.
** All children must be fully potty trained in order to enroll in the Three Pea Class and up.
Please note - all CLASS tuition indicated is a MONTHLY tuition. This fee would be due MONTHLY for your child's class
Boys & Girls | 4 months - Steady Walking | 30 minute class
Our Wee Peas program is a movement based developmental program for babies who are not yet walking. Wee Peas is taught in a free flowing active learning class space. The activities are designed to provide physical, sensory and social experiences for our littlest Sweet Peas.
The Wee Peas class is carefully designed for babies learning to sit and crawl. This class provides our littlest scooters with active learning activities that focus on whole body development. Wee Pea students are given the opportunities to move, reach, and grasp in a baby safe environment that is rich with color, sound and tactile experiences. Wee Peas enjoy activities that promote visual tracking, core strength and balance needed for sitting and standing. (This is parent participation where an adult must go into the gym with the child.)
Boys & Girls | Steady Walking - 2 yrs | 30 minute class
Our One Peas learn self-awareness and physical adaptation through developmentally appropriate gymnastics activities specifically geared toward little ones. Our “Parent/Tot” classes work on gross motor skills in a playful, socially enriched environment. Classes are based on progressive lesson plans and learning objectives are met through music, repetition, encouragement, and recognition. Basic gymnastics skills are introduced such as rolling, swinging, and balancing. This is an excellent way for children to become comfortable with the gym environment as well as following instructions. It also allows for the development of social skills. (This is parent participation where an adult must go into the gym with the child.)
Boys & Girls | 2 - 3 yrs | 30 minute class

Social and listening skills are developed and enhanced throughout this class.

NOTE: All students progress at varying levels. Children will advance to the next level when they attain specific skills. Please understand Bright Stars teaches skill progressions leading up to specific skills on all events. For example, if a child is unable to do a round-off but has been working on it for a period of time, he/she is likely able to do several of the progressions leading up to that skill. Please understand children reach milestones prior to attaining a specific skill and we pride ourselves on celebrating growth which builds confident children.
