Gym Chef:
In addition to Kitchen Little’s Kids in the Kitchen program, we have paired it with our state-of-the-art gym facility and USA Gymnastics certified instructors. Your child will spend the first 45 minutes of each class participating in our cooking curriculum, Kids in the Kitchen (link), where they will have the opportunity to take on a culinary adventure that will entertain, enlighten and expand their eating habits. Once the cooking portion of class is complete, your child will learn to transition from the kitchen to the gym—an important developmental concept.

The gym portion of this class was carefully planned to develop a progression of both gymnastic skills and hand-eye coordination appropriate to each age group. Younger children are challenged to move with control and coordination around obstacle courses as they climb, tumble, balance and jump, all with the support of our certified instructors. In addition to gymnastics, your child will use age-appropriate equipment (obstacle courses, beams and TumblTrak) that emphasize coordination skills and increase spatial awareness.

Additional activities are designed for older children in order to help develop motor skills, strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Students practice specific skills on the balance beam, bars, trampoline, vault and floor. This will prepare students for more advanced classes at Gymtime, but also for a variety of physical activities in their lives.
