| Toddler and Parent Gymnastics |
| About the Program |
| Come join the fun as we run, jump, crawl, slide, swing, climb, stretch, tumble, balance, throw and explore! The Toddler Parent Program at NESA targets infants who are walking thru the age of three. Toddlers and parents attend class together and form a strong important bond thru social interaction. It is within the Toddler Parent Classes that the adults are able to discuss topics of interest with other parents who have young children while the "little ones" are able to form positive relationships with children of a similar age. Together the toddlers and parents are taken thru a variety of apparatus in the gym where useful concepts such as over/under, on/off, in/out, and sit/stand are introduced along with creative ways of learning colors, shapes, directions, letters, and numbers. Challenging skills including rolling, headstands, handstands, cartwheels, and other forms of very basic tumbling are mastered. Parents are taught proper spotting techniques making it simple to help practice skills in the child's very own home. Be sure to act quickly and set a strong fitness foundation for your Tumble Tot, for as we all know, these "incredible years" pass by way to quickly. |

I'm mother of a boy with autism that had a birthday party at NESA this past weekend. I wanted to say that Matt and Joe were absolutely wonderful with the children and I was really impressed by the way they worked with the group. The children had a great time. THANK YOU.
