KinderGym is Gymnastics Australia’s movement-based learning experience for young children and their parents or caregivers.
Children need as many opportunities as possible to optimise brain development and increase physical potential before they go to school. KinderGym provides a safe environment for children to develop physical skills in a fun and playful way, at their own rate. Educational research tells us that children learn best through exploring and discovering their abilities through physical activity. Our program offers children a fun filled educational learning environment for fundamental movement; ensuring they can experience a wide range of movement activities and be encouraged to think, create, construct and solve problems with their own bodies. While developing co-ordination and self-esteem, our programs assist in your child’s physical, social and cognitive development.
Our 1 -2 ½ year old program is parent assisted and the children are encouraged to explore their environment at their own pace in our play based environment. We control the environment, not the child.
Our Little Leaper program is parent assisted and the children are encouraged to explore their environment at their own pace. In this class we add a little more structure than our Tiny Tot’s program, adding group activities and more social interaction while still focusing on a play based environment.
