Parent & Child Gymnastics

 


Twinkling Tots, our Toddler Gymnastics Program, gives your little one a chance to have fun while discovering new skills like balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed, and discipline. We believe in presenting children with opportunities to discover their unique interests and skills. Gymnastics training, even at such an early age, lays a foundation that can benefit a child’s overall cognitive and physical development.

We are honored that we may be your child's first group class experience!  Our Parent & Child classes are designed for you (or Grandma/Grandpa or any other special "grown up") and your child to learn and have fun toghether! 

For over 30 years we have been welcoming our youngest students through our doors.  Parents (or other special grown ups!) are always amazed at how quickly their little one adapts to a class setting!  We 'set the bar' high here at Flying High!  We know these kids can reach the stars!  Wait until you see how quickly your little tag-a-long gains his/her independence in this program!  

And just like every program here at Flying High, kiddos are placed into classes by age but advance by skill.  Once your little one hits all of his/her goals with the class, onward and upward!

Parent & Child Gymnastics FAQ

Can I enroll right now or do I have to wait until the next month starts?

Flying High classes run year round with no long term commitments. You may enroll at any time and tuition is paid monthly. We do not charge more for “long” months nor less for “short” months. Over the year, all 12 months average 4 weeks. We will pro-rate if starting mid-month.

An Annual Administration fee of $35.00 is due upon initial enrollment of classes and on the anniversary of each students start date (annually; non-refundable).

What if my child won't stay with the class?

Not to worry! A young child, ESPECIALLY new to the program, will be very curious. Positively encourage them to come back to the group. Also, look for teachable moments. If your child wanders off to do a station they prefer, let them do it and help them! In our experience, by week 3 your child will be getting the hang of it!

What if my child doesn't participate like the other children?

Every child matures differently and every couple months in age makes a HUGE difference. They may not perform the skills exactly as presented right way. Give it time, and please ask your child’s instructor for ideas on ways to help or spot your child through them! They are a wealth of knowledge and are here to coach both you and your child through a fun, instructional class.

Why aren't adults allowed on the trampoline with their child?

We ask that adults do not jump on the trampoline with their child for safety reasons! Your child should explore the uniqueness of the trampoline themselves and bounce on it at their own pace. The added momentum of an adult jumping on the trampoline with their child can cause double bouncing. Double bouncing on the trampoline should always be avoided!!

Can I bring my older child along? Can I bring my infant child along?

Bringing siblings is permitted. We ask that siblings either participate in the courses as they are presented, as we love having great role models, or that they sit quietly to the side. Teachers do have the right to ask siblings to sit on the side if it is affecting the quality of the class. Infants can stay in their carrier and the carrier can stay at your side while in the gym.

What is my role as the parent in the class?

Be your child’s biggest cheerleader! Encourage your little star to try everything and let them figure things out themselves. By offering experiences where children can take SAFE risks, we’re building confidence and the desire to explore.
