Super Tot
Age 3
 

The athletes begin their first class without the assistance of their parents. They will continue to build a strong foundation, and will learn the early body shapes of gymnastics. They will begin to work on the early skills and progressions to help prepare them for the more advanced skills to come. They’ll get to experience all of the gymnastics equipment custom designed specifically for our younger athletes.
 

Mighty Tot
Age 4
 

These athletes are preparing to be “big kids” and most of them think they already are! They’ll begin to be introduced to some of the larger equipment all while mastering a basic understanding of body shapes, introductory skills, and will continue to build strength and flexibility. All of our programs help to enhance physical development and basic motor skills, and these “Mighty Tots” are proof that all of that work has gone to good use! When you see these young athletes flying high with a smile on their faces, it’ll put a smile on yours as well!

 

Why enroll your child in Premier's Preschool Gymnastics?

There are many 1st’s in a child’s life.  Choose Premier Athletics Preschool Gymnastics as one of them!  Take a moment to read the following which include just a few of the benefits of Preschool Gymnastics.  You will find that we aren’t just teaching cartwheels, we are teaching the values and skill sets to help them succeed in life!

 

SELF CONFIDENCE

One of the greatest things that we can instill in a child is self confidence.  Gymnastics is an excellent tool to help build self confidence as children are faced with many small challenges in each class, and given the support and encouragement to master each skill over time.  This environment builds their self confidence as they learn that with the right support and guidance, and belief in themselves, they can do anything they set their mind too.  Somersaults and cartwheels transition into the social skills and self awareness that will have a lasting, positive affect in all areas of their lives for years to come. 

 

 

LISTENING AND FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS

Teaching children to stop, listen and learn is extremely important, and often one of the biggest challenges a parent will face!  Adding the capability to effectively communicate their thoughts and emotions verbally only adds to the list!  Preschool gymnastics activities create situations where listening, learning and following directions can be practiced.  Taking part in the gymnastics class offers the structure and leadership that will help refine these skills, preparing them for the academic classroom environment.  Developing the habit of listening and following directions starts the process of thinking before acting, which is vital to every human being, no matter the age!

 

DISCIPLINE

Most every child has experienced discipline of some form or fashion inside the home.  From following a schedule, to picking up toys, to limits on how many cookies, children are introduced to the concept of discipline at a very early age.  The fun environment of preschool gymnastics also offers a structure that teaches discipline and control that will compliment your efforts as a parent.  This helps the child gain respect for other non-parent adult authorities such as teachers, coaches, and care givers.  Gymnastics class provides real-life situations that serve as practice to help the child understand acceptable and appropriate behaviors in the class setting considering their authorities, peers, and themselves. 

 

 

MOTOR SKILLS AND COORDINATION

When it comes to development and learning at the preschool age, the vast majority is physical rather than mental.  Through gymnastics instruction, children learn what their bodies are capable of and the best way to accomplish them.  Balance, coordination, strength and fitness are all emphasized.  Some children are born with natural ability in these areas, some… not so much!  Regardless of your child’s ability they will receive the special attention needed to appropriately challenge them to reach their own personal best!  The skills they learn will transfer into their future sports and athletic abilities, and most importantly will set the stage for a healthy lifestyle with a foundation of fitness and physical activity.  We aren’t just teaching gymnastics, we are preparing your child for life!
