THE LITTLE GYM

The best way to encourage chil-
dren to try their best is with a smile.
That’s why, surprisingly, our teach-
ing philosophy is quite different
from others. We challenge children
to strive for success in a positive,
nurturing environment. Each new
accomplishment promotes confi-
dence and each successful experi-
ence motivates them to try for the
next. Our coaching style is non-
competitive, which means children
are encouraged to strive for their
personal best. We’re not the only
ones who see the value of this
approach. Major studies note the
myriad benefits of early childhood
physical development:
• Children with a high level of
physical activity tend to remain
highly active throughout ado-
lescence. Starting early lays the
foundation for a healthy
lifestyle.
• Physically active pre-school chil-
dren perform better in kinder-
garten and grade school. With
age-appropriate exercises and
group activities,
The Little
Gym
provides a different con-
text for learning.
• Children with more developed
motor coordination have a
lower incidence of social and
educational problems. By com-
bining physical development
with activities that promote
sharing, listening and friend-
ship,
The Little Gym
sets the
stage for critical life skills.
• Positive feedback tends to
increase children’s intrinsic
motivation, having long-term
benefits on their self-confi-
dence and willingness to
embrace challenges. Our posi-
tive, noncompetitive environ-
ment triggers children’s natural
drive to discover their own
potential.
With locations across the globe,
The Little Gym
has helped millions
of children experience the benefits
of this positive approach since our
inception in 1976. Our programs
have helped kids across the planet
become more confident, readying
them for new challenges with proud
smiles on their faces. We see it every
day. And soon, you will, too. Classes
for ages 4 months to 12 years old.
Covering Gymnastics, Dance and
Sports Skills. Birthday Party slots
available on Saturdays and Sundays.
