👨‍👧 Parent Participation Required:

An adult is required to accompany their child throughout each lesson. Our coaches will lead you through the session, but parents are the ultimate caretakers of their tiny gymnasts.

Parent participation in Toddler Gym is crucial as it serves as the roots to a child’s flourishing journey. Beyond the obvious safety benefits, active involvement fosters a strong bond between parents and their little gymnasts, creating a supportive foundation for future learning. Toddlers thrive on familiarity and comfort, and having a parent nearby provides a reassuring presence as they explore the exciting world of gymnastics. Moreover, parents become integral guides, encouraging their children to engage in activities, manage behaviour, and instil a sense of discipline. This partnership between parent and child not only enhances the learning experience but also sets the stage for a positive attitude towards physical activity, building a sturdy trunk for their gymnastic growth.

  • Safety First: Always be at arm’s length from your little one to ensure a safe environment, ready to jump in and assist as needed.
  • Behavioural Management: Aid in managing and guiding the toddler’s behaviour, helping to create a positive and cooperative atmosphere in the class.
  • Encourage Active Participation and Confidence: Toddlers often feel more confident and motivated when a parent is present, encouraging them to actively participate in the activities.
  • Bonding and Building Trust: Parental participation fosters a sense of security and trust in toddlers, strengthening the parent-child bond through shared experiences as they learn and develop through fun play.
  • Assistance in Learning: Aid in the child’s development. While coaches play a role, parents contribute significantly to their child’s learning by working alongside the coach. Facilitate a smooth and fun learning process, provide extra support and encouragement, and help the child to grasp new skills and techniques.
  • Community: Share in your child’s growth and achievements whilst fostering a sense of teamwork and connection among other family members or parents in the class.
  • Responsibility for the Child’s Well-being: Parents play a crucial role in the overall care of their child during the gymnastics class, ensuring the child’s well-being and comfort throughout the session.

🚸 What to Expect:

Little Sprouts is a semi-structured class, that strikes the perfect balance between guided discovery and free exploration. It incorporates a mixture of structured learning, games and activities alongside free play. This combination is perfect for our young participants, who are learning to navigate structured group classes. Our coaches will introduce them to new movements while they learn and grow like sprouting seeds.

Each class includes:

🌱 Free exploration: Let your little ones explore, play, and discover in a safe and engaging environment. Help your little saplings familiarise themselves with their surroundings, investigate new activities like leaves dancing in the wind and interact with peers and coaches to help build strong rooted connections.

🌱 Group warm-up: Get those limbs rustling, bending, and waving around with our coach-led songs, dances, games and activities, followed by whimsical and imaginative stretches that everyone can enjoy.

🌱 A whole gym circuit: Parents and toddlers team up for a guided adventure through our gymnastics wonderland. We’ve got the circuit set and instructed by us, but your little ones will oversee the exploration of the circuit. Parents assist their seedlings every step of the way and encourage the discovery of each movement-based activity within the circuit, helping them to sprout!

🌱 Cool down: Reward your little ones tree-mendous efforts with stickers and stamps as we wind down – because every mighty oak deserves a leafy seal of approval.
