Hopes & Dreams is excited to offer one of the top development programs in gymnastics for our youngest students ranging in age from 18 months – 3 years old (and fully potty trained.) They will participate in our motor development gymnastics program “Parent & Me Classes” these classes are held in our age appropriate area separated from the main gym where they can begin to develop gymnastics skills in an environment specific to their needs.  The curriculum for these classes is adjusted every four weeks to focus on different aspects of their development. Classes for this age group are 45 minutes long and are fast paced to keep the attention of young and excited students. *If your child is 3 years old and fully potty trained they may attend our “Tots Preschool Classes”

The Parent & Me Class is a very hands on, parent-involved class. The following are the requirements for you and your child’s participation in the class.

• Stay with your child at all times
• Keep your child in line and make sure they are doing what the instructor is asking of them.
• Do not let your child wander off. Keep them on the equipment that is specified by the instructor.
• Physically help your child do the skills as directed by the instructor.
• Encourage your child to participate in all events. Sometimes a child may be apprehensive about new skills, but patience and persistence should help them overcome their apprehension.
• Keep social conversation between parents to a minimum. The focus should be on helping your child get the most out of their class time.
• No cell phones are to be used in the gym.
• All guests, friends, and other family members must watch from the observation area. The class is designed for one parent to be in the class with the child.
• Have fun!!!

Children three years old and fully potty trained will attend “Tots” classes until they turn 5 years old. These classes are held in our age appropriate area separated from the main gym where they can begin to develop basic gymnastics skills. Curriculum for these classes is adjusted every four weeks to focus on different aspects of their development. With small ratios and equipment sized specifically for them. These classes offer a safe fun environment, while still focusing on basic strength and skill movements. All of our Preschool classes are 45 minutes long and are fast paced to keep the attention of young and excited students. These classes are great for movement and skills that will transfer into gymnastics and other sports as well. Please call the gym for class availability.
