RSVPs required.
Open gym time in a dynamic gymnastics based sensory environment. All ages welcome, please read the below descriptions and choose the group that best describes your child’s abilities and developmental level. 6 children per session to ensure safety.
Flying Saucers
For those who would benefit from time out of their gait trainers or wheelchairs, this is the group for you! Children in this group are potentially working on important motor skills such as independent sitting, head and postural control, tolerating tummy time and vestibular input on swings and rockers. Closing activities after open play will focus on facilitating basic gymnastics positions such as pencil (straight), tuck, and straddle positions with assistance.
Shooting Stars:
For those who are learning to walk and/or just starting to bounce, this is the group for you! Children in this group are potentially working on independent walking, transitioning from sit to stand, navigating uneven surfaces and beginning to challenge their balance and strength for jumping, climbing and reaching overhead. Closing activities after open play will focus on tuck, pike, straddle and rolling positions.
Space Cadets:
For those who are able to jump, climb and hang, this is the group for you! Children in this group are potentially working on safety awareness, control of more complex motor skills and sequences, as well as emerging gymnastics skills. Closing activities after open play will focus on various gymnastics jumps and gross motor challenges.
