| Parents who bring their
pre-school age child to Tumbleweeds most often think about the fun and
physical benefits of taking a gymnastics class. The Tumbleweeds
pre-school movement program provides benefits which go far beyond this,
however.
Beginning with Sprouts, the Tumbleweed Parent
Participation class for crawlers and walkers age 6 months to 15 months,
toddlers are immersed in an exciting environment full of color, music and
a variety of surfaces and tactile experiences. Children begin to
learn through their physical interaction with the world, and the
Tumbleweeds gym provides a safe place these children can explore their new
world together with their parents.
Along with the motor skills and varied experiences
providing a head start on learning for pre-schoolers, the benefits
increase as the students move through into independent classes with our
professional instructors. Social skills, working cooperatively with
age mates, development of listening skills and following instructions are
important aspects of the learning environment in our independent Sweet
Peas and Pre-Tumble programs. These skills transfer seamlessly as
Tumbleweeds students arrive for the first day of their Kindergarten class.
More than anything else, the fun and challenging
environment of the Tumbleweeds gym and our friendly and professional
instructors provides a first experience with structured learning that the
young students will remember for the rest of their lives.
