Why Take Gymnastics?
Your
child may think that exercise can be hard and boring. However,
moving, running, exploring and learning are all natural for them and
we want to keep that thought foremost on their minds. We will
provide your child with barrels of fun with our different shaped
mats (hills, inclines, tunnels, octagons) and scaled down real
gymnastics equipment (low balance beam, wee grip bars, baby
trapezoid).
It's a learning experience! Research has repeatedly proven that gymnastics-type activity makes children smarter by raising reading readiness and increasing spatial reasoning (the ability to detect patterns among objects which is critical in math and science). Gymnastics also increases the development of various motor and sensory areas such as: hand eye coordination, spatial awareness, ocular pursuit (tracking) directionality, motor coordination, balance, agility and poise.
