Here at Metro Gymnastics Center you can expect consistency for all of our Mini-Mover Gymnastics classes.

• MUSIC: We will all meet together to start our class with music of some sort - Hokey Pokey, tapping sticks, Jumping Jack song - and many more. Music is a great easy way to transition into class in which kids of all ages enjoy!
• RUNNING: Directly following music, we will work to raise their heart rates with some running (approximately 2 minutes).
• WARM UP: Following the running, our classes will be divided among the age groups and we will go directly into our warm up. This is a chance for the teachers to begin to work on some strength, flexibility and body positions.
• GYMNASTICS: Finally we will get into the heart of the class - gymnastics! Every 2 weeks our themes will change - we will work through hanging and swinging, jumping and landing, balancing, strength and coordination and so much more!
• GOODBYE and STAMPS: After a fun filled class we will finish back where we started - all the kids will receive stamps from their teachers and say goodbye till their next wonderful gymnastics class!
  

Metro Gymnastics Center’s Mini Movers Gymnastics Program provides children 12 months old through Kindergarten an opportunity to explore age appropriate activities in a safe, fun, kid-oriented environment. Children are challenged at their own ability levels and praised for their interaction and efforts. We believe that gymnastics builds strength, balance, flexibility and coordination and more importantly self confidence!

We also strongly believe that teaching the kids social skills such as following directions, sharing, taking turns and cooperation are an integral part of not only our gymnastics classes but life itself!

Welcome to Metro Gymnastics Center - we are honored that you have chosen us to take your amazing children and spend some time with them while teaching them the wonderful sport of gymnastics. I truly believe that gymnastics is the SPORT OF ALL SPORTS! Everything they learn here will be used in every sport they ever play and every activity they choose to be involved in.

My fantastic’s teachers and I LOVE kids! We love being able to spend time with them and to teach them to LOVE TO LEARN! Through movement, coordination, strength and fitness we hope to build a foundation of skills and attitudes so that no matter where they end up in life - they are self confident and successful!
