Together, you and your coach will help your toddler develop in:

• Gross motor movement

Preschool (3 & 4 Year Old) Classes

The FGC Tumble Jungle curriculum includes a fun, skill and theme-based lesson plan each month.  Examples of our skill weeks include Roly Poly week, Hooray for Handstands and Crazy for Cartwheels.  Our theme weeks include Fire Safety, Stranger Danger and Halloween Safety.  Our Tumble Jungle Preschool classes use the fundamental skills of gymnastics combined with perceptual motor activities to further extend and develop childrens' gross motor skills. This year-round program includes skill development on the preschool bars, balance beam, vault, floor tumbling, obstacle course and full-size trampolines. Skills include safety landings, handstands, cartwheels, rolls, trampoline, bars, balance beam and pre-vaulting.

At this age, your child is introduced to a more structured gymnastic lesson, and parental participation is usually not necessary.

Kindergarten Classes
Girls and boys get the best of both worlds in this class!  Students will be able to participate in the fun weekly themes and activities that the Tumble Jungle program offers and also have the added challenge of longer event rotation times to increase strength, flexibility and skill development in preparation for the "First Grade and Up" gymnastics or tramp & tumbling programs.  These skills are taught in progressions, and each progression is a building block to more complex movements. This year-round program includes the bars, balance beam, vault, floor tumbling, mini-trampolines and full-size trampolines.
