PlayGym in an Active Learning Environment
At Tumbling Tots PlayGym, we encourage children to learn through movement as well as exploration, discovery, and play. In our active learning environment, your child will get to explore the foundations of gymnastics, while also discovering their creative side, building onto their basic knowledge, and learning to share and work with others in our activity room.
We strive to provide a program that allows cross-curricular activities where children are supported to learn through many different methods. For example, basic counting, number recognition and ‘reading’ a picture will be learned in the activity room through discovery and games as well as in the gym through movement. In addition, children can practice using the basic body awareness and coordination they learn in the gym while completing other activities in the activity room.
