Our exclusive preschool gymnastics
and fitness program is supervised by kinder accredited and safety
certified gymnastics coaches! Our philosophy is to provide a safe
and effective learning environment that reflects the importance of
fun and skill mastery. Our coaches will help your child feel like
they are in control of their own success helping them prepare for
elementary school and other classroom settings. Participating in
the sport of gymnastics will help develop confidence, make
learning fun, enhance self-esteem, and teach children to take
risks. We want our preschoolers to develop as individuals while
still having fun!

Virginia Techniques goals for
preschool gymnastics are:
- To
introduce physical fitness in an exciting and fun form that will
stay with them throughout their lifetime.
- To
teach children to strive for goals and take risks necessary to
accomplish skills that they thought they could never do before
gymnastics.
- To
teach some of the skills necessary for entering kindergarten
such as independence, coordination, teamwork, and discipline.

Our preschool classes are geared to
help children of all different learning styles. We teach
developmental skills through the use of demonstrations, colorful
mats and equipment, illustrations, and music. Children will learn
by working with others, exploring new experiences, and by actually
trying the skills themselves.
Safety trained instructors will
explain and implement techniques that will help your child learn new
skills on all apparatus progressively. Our preschool coordinators
attended a rigorous six-hour workshop sponsored by USA Gymnastics,
the national governing body for gymnastics. The six-hour workshop
focuses on educating each teacher about kinder/preschool-specific
gymnastics. This includes child development, lesson planning,
teaching methodology, safety considerations and more! The workshop
provides each participant with the information they need to be
effective leaders of preschool gymnastics.
|
We concentrate on motor skill
development through the use of soft skill cushions, bars, beam,
floor, rope, incline mats, spring boards, and various
trampolines. Our stretches, warm-up games, and strengthening
exercises are age appropriate and proven to increase fitness
levels.
