        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.
