Our Program

Baby Gym

45 minute sessions for babies

This group caters for the non-walker (approximately 6 months of age) through to walkers up to 24 months. These sessions enable your child to get used to the routine of Kindergym in a relaxed atmosphere. Skills developed include movement to music, imitation, early motor skills such as learning to sit, crawl, stand, and take their first steps, as well as learning through play.

Kindergym

45 minute sessions for children​

This class is designed to suit all ages and family groupings. The children in this group are quick on their feet and focus on developing skills such as jumping, rolling, and interacting with others. The class encourages sharing, social development, and confidence through a mix of free play and short, engaging circuits aimed at extending foundational skills.

Class Leaders

Nicola, Mila and Bernadette are our wonderful class leaders. Please don’t hesitate to speak with them if you have any questions or need support during your session. They’re always happy to help.

What to Expect

Our classes follow a consistent structure and routine to help create predictability for children. As families arrive, children begin by exploring the equipment at their own pace.

Once everyone is settled, the group comes together for a short warm-up that includes singing, dancing, and occasionally a story.​

Afterward, children enjoy a period of free play, where they can move, explore, and engage with the equipment in their own way. We end each session with a gentle cool-down featuring more songs—plus crowd favourites like the parachute and bubbles.
​

There is absolutely no pressure for children to join in during the warm-up or cool-down group times - children are always welcome to continue exploring the equipment if that’s where they feel most comfortable. 

​
We often find that, over time and with regular attendance, children naturally begin to show more interest in joining the group.

Everyone is Welcome

We warmly welcome children with disabilities or additional needs. Please let your class leader know how we can best support and accommodate your child so we can create the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible.
