The first practice habit
Move together. Try together. Celebrate the attempt.
A trusted adult helps a young child listen, attempt a movement, and feel safe trying it again.
Move together
A caregiver helps the child explore each guided activity.
Learn the class pattern
Listen, balance, take a turn, and repeat a simple movement.
Staff confirms the next fit
Gradual separation and safe group movement guide the next step.
After the fit review
Two useful next steps
Age or visit count alone does not decide the class.
Keep building together
Continue practicing the routine with caregiver support on the floor.
Try Toddler Gymnastics
When independent participation fits, staff may guide the family to the toddler trial.

What you practice together
Guided movement gives the child a safe first class pattern while the caregiver helps each activity feel familiar.
Body awareness
Notice where the body is while climbing, reaching, and moving.
Balance
Practice steady steps and simple supported shapes.
Coordination
Connect hands, feet, direction, and age-appropriate equipment.
Listening
Hear a short direction and try it with caregiver support.
Class comfort
Become familiar with the teacher, group, and movement routine.
A clear class boundary
The adult is part of the class
The parent or caregiver follows the teacher and helps the child try each activity. Parent & Me does not expect a first-time toddler to work independently.
Check clothing, hair, and socks before classAge overlap is normal
At age 3, choose by participation
Parent & Me and Toddler Gymnastics may both fit at age 3. The important difference is whether the child still needs an adult on the floor.
Send the trial request. Staff confirms the suitable program and class separately.
