Pre-school Gymnastics
Developing good exercise habits at an early age will benefit your child for a lifetime. The key is to keep physical activity fun and interesting. Each week at the Flip Factory, your child will be transported to a magical place: The African Savannah, a medieval castle, under the sea. . . . the possibilities are limitless! Elaborate themes with props, music and ever changing circuits keep each week new and captivating for kids and parents alike.
Each child is encouraged to work to the best of their ability. New skills and sequences are introduced when a child is ready to move on. Classes are of mixed levels and can accommodate beginners through to experienced youngsters.
We have three pre-school programs:
Parent & Tot (2 - 3 1/2 years)
Parent participation is required. Maximum class size: 12 participants.
Mixed Pre-school (2 - 5 or 6 years)
Parent participation is required for children under 3 1/2, parent participation is optional for children over 3 1/2. This is a great program for families with more than one child in the pre-school age catagory. Maximum class size: 12 participants.
Kindergym (3 1/2 - 5 or 6 years)
This is a non-parented program. More emphasis is placed on skill development - but still lots of FUN! Maximum class size: 8 participants.
For your child’s safety and comfort, please adhere to the following:
- be on time for classes
- long hair must be tied back
- no jewelry or large hair bobbles
- wear shorts or pants that stretch and do not have zippers, buckles, buttons or belts
- wear a t-shirt or sweat top that will not slide over your child’s head when they are upside down; tighter fitting is better
- bare feet are best
- layer clothing, especially in the colder months
- bring a water bottle
- children are not permitted on the equipment before the class starts or after the class has finished
- children will be instructed to sit in the gym if a parent is late for pick-up
- children under 3 1/2 must have a parent or guardian within arms reach at all times
