Preschool Classes

Preschool & Kinder Programs

As parents and teachers, it is essential to remember, there is no better age to form positive learning attitudes than the preschool years. We strongly believe the learning attitudes your child acquires during his/her preschool years at Spring Hill Gymnastics have more bearing on personal success than his/her secondary education. Our preschool programs are designed to help your child develop basic motor skills, self confidence, and body awareness, all while experiencing FUN!!!

Twinkling Stars: Ages 14 mo. to 3 years with parent!

What great fun to learn beside your developing child! This 45 minute class focuses on developing your child’s hand-eye coordination, balance, movement and strength. As your child learns and explores, the parent's hands on to the learning experience. Our instructors will teach parents proper spotting techniques for skills. The more interaction and motivation from the parent, the more the child will gain from the class. Some basic skills covered are hopping, swinging, rolling, and climbing. Creating the learning attitude and the willingness to try new things, through exploration and socialization, is a primary goal in this class!

Super Stars: Ages 3 to 4 1/2 years
No parents needed here!

Your child learns basic gymnastics skills on his/her own! This 45 minute class focuses on hand-eye coordination, balance and strength taught with positive reinforcement. Gymnastics skills and general motor skills, as well as socialization, taking turns and getting along with peers are stressed! Skills are taught on all events, including our Tumble-Trac trampoline and in-ground foam filled pit. Superstars classes are designed to be high-energy, and introduce the concept of independent stations where the child safely practices skills on his/her own.

Kinder Flippers: Ages 5 to 6 years

In this 60-minute class, children continue learning the basic concepts from Super Stars. This class advances into more “skill oriented” activities. This level also emphasizes the importance of warm-up and stretching. The specific names of skills and body positions are also emphasized to the gymnasts.

What to Wear

Most girls wear a leotard, or a t-shirt and active wear shorts, all of which you can find in our Pro-Shop. Boys wear active wear shorts and a t-shirt. Bare feet are best, as it is difficult to climb some of our “mountains” and other stations with socks (as they slip). Hair should be pulled back for safety, since long hair can interfere and be dangerous. Please no gum or jewelry.
