Elite Energy Gymnastics - Pre-School Classes 

Our Pre-school program is broken up into different classes to cater to the rapidly changing physical and mental capabilities of young children.  All of our Pre-school classes emphasize safety, basic gymnastics skills, large muscle motor coordination, working in a group, and basic scholastic concepts (color, number, letter identification).  Each week the lessons have a different theme. Some examples of our theme weeks are:  Off to the Zoo, Adventures in Outer Space, Color Week, and Disney Week.  We use the themes to create new and fun ways to move our bodies, and to introduce vocabulary and general knowledge all while doing gymnastics!  All classes use pieces of equipment specially designed to safely accommodate the bodies of Pre-school children.  During the Fall, the 3 and 4 year old students are invited to participate in the "Tumble Bear Olympics" where they showcase their gymnastics skills for the family and friends.  All participants receive a trophy.  During Spring Session, students are invited to participate in the annual recital.  The students will learn a gymnastics routine to music and perform for their family and friends.
