Pre-School Gymnastics
What Makes Us Different?
The Tumblebear Gym Program is designed to develop children’s self-confidence, coordination, and physical strength within a safe and nurturing environment. Safety is our highest priority, and our carefully selected, child- friendly equipment—including trampolines, incline mats, beams, and uneven bars—supports both skill development and enjoyment.
Each class offers a positive introduction to physical fitness through a lively blend of music and gymnastics, and through structured, engaging classes.
To keep little minds engaged, we also incorporate equipment such as bars, balance beam, tumbling, and trampoline activities. To further enhance development, children also explore fine motor skills using equipment such as rhythmic ribbons, hoops, balls, and balloons. Creative educational themes add an element of imagination and discovery. Every class is thoughtfully structured to inspire movement, creativity, and confidence—while making fitness feel like pure fun.
We strongly recommend two-three classes a week for maximum skill progression. No contracts. Ever.

This is a teacher-recommended class and is designed for the 3 to 4-year-old who is ready to separate from a parent and can take direction from the instructor. This is considered their first ‘big kid’ class here at PAA. Your child will be working independently on beginner skills, taking turns & learning to cooperate with peers. We utilize current themes, trends, and props to make our classes full of FUN!! We’ll keep a low ratio because the child will be on their own out in the gym to further their progression in gymnastics.
