Preschool
Our preschool classes provide an introduction to gymnastics for boys and girls ages 3 through 5. Coed classes teach gymnastics fundamentals through a program which incorporates tumbling skills, games and fitness activities. Classes encourage development of listening and group skills, body awareness, coordination and self-confidence. Preschool classes are 45 minutes in length and designed for children who comfortably separate from parents. Cost: $55 per month.
Fitness Is Fun!Childhood fitness, diet and obesity risks are a common theme in the daily news. Today's youth have dozens of indoor distractions such as computers, video games, and TV that, for many children, have largely taken the place of outdoor play.
Gymnastics helps kids become more physically fit while teaching the importance of health and exercise in a fun and energetic way. High Flyers preschool classes incorporate games and directed play so children view fitness as rewarding and fun. Children enrolled in gymnastics are more likely to adopt healthy attitudes about fitness and to become active youth and adults. Gymnastics brings value, focus and fun to a young life. The benefits can last a lifetime. |
Mental & Social DevelopmentIn addition to physical benefits, gymnastics also offers cognitive benefits. When children are engaging in gymnastics, they are exercising their brains as well as their bodies.
According to Dr. Robyn Silverman, PhD., “Research suggests that there is a strong correlation between physically fit children and academic achievement. This means that every time you send your child to gymnastics class, they’re getting an opportunity to engage in physical exercise that encourages healthy brain function. Nerve cells multiply and connections in the brain are strengthened. It is not surprising that children who are engaging in consistent physical activity like gymnastics are more likely to get better grades than their inactive peers.” |
