Kindergym
Kindergym is for children aged 1 year to 5 years and are accompanied by a parent or adult helper. The children are able to self-direct their learning through circuits which allows for exploration of the basic movement fundamentals. Kindergym helps develop balance, co-ordination and confident body movement as they grow. Classes include Warm-up and Group-Time activities as well as equipment circuits and trampolining.
Kindergym = Parent/Carer accompanies child to class
Kinder-Ability = For children with special needs from 1 to 5 years
Mini-Gym
Mini-gym is for children aged 4 to 5 years whom may or may not yet be at school, and will happily attend class without the aid of a parent or adult helper. This is a less daunting option for that shy 5 year old who isn’t quite ready for the mixed age Gym-Fun class. Children who are over 5 who have been doing a few terms in this class, and are socially ready, may be able to move into Gym-Fun class.
NB: Where a Mini-gym class occurs at the same time as Kindergym, a parent/carer will be required for part of that class as these are more like a Hybrid class.
Mini-gym = Child attends class independently
