- Northern Lights Gymnastics' goals are to introduce basic motor skills and coordination while providing a challenge to each growing child.The focus for the younger children is on teaching spatial awareness, socialization and the simplest gymnastics skills. As the children grow the focus moves on to more intricate motor and gymnastics skills. We use unique games, encouragement and discipline to ensure that it is rewarding for all levels. Specialized preschool equipment makes learning safe and fun and gives children a chance to use and develop their bodies as they climb, jump, swing and tumble. We also introduce rhythmic gymnastics to the children through the use of ribbons, hoops, and balls. We keep classes small and friendly.
- The following classes for preschoolers use a structured class format that includes a musical warm-uptwo circuits, games and use of the trampoline and foam-filled "pit". Circuits are circles of apparatus, including small beams, bars, hills, blocks, tunnels, etc.
- Baby Bearsclasses are early exploration classes designed for our youngest children (aged 16 - 24 months). Children attend with an accompanying adult, with a maximum of two adults per child.
- Me and My Shadowclasses are for children aged 2 through 3 1/2 years. Children attend with an accompanying adult, with a maximum of two adults per child.
- 3, 3 1/2, 4, and 5 year old classes.Children taking these classes attend without an accompanying adult. Each age group works skills within the class that are developmentally appropriate and challenging.
- The following classes for preschoolers use a slightly different class structure:
- 4-5 Challenge4-5 Challenge lasses are designed for children aged 4 and 5. Students enrolled in this class need to have participated in a previous 4 or 5 year class. This class includes a musical warm up, one circuit, a game, instruction on individual pieces of apparatus as well as the trampoline and foam-filled "pit".
- KimotionKimotion classes are "Kids in Motion" classes for children aged 4 and 5. These classes use music and movement in a game format as well as one gymnastics circuit per class. The children also have a musical warm up and game, as well as making use of the trampoline and "pit".
- Preschool TrampolinePreschool Trampoline classes include a musical warm up, one circuit, a game, plus use of both the long and big trampolines. The class is designed for 4 and 5 year olds.
- 3,4,5 Fun3,4,5 Fun is a relatively new age grouping with our normal preschool structure. This class gives kids of different age groups a chance to work together. This class also allows additional options for siblings, homeschooled children and friends of different ages.
- Home School/FitnessHome School/Fitness classes will add fitness to your homeschooler's curriculum in a circuit training format. Build strength, agility, flexibility and self esteem while having fun on our trampoline, foam pit, bars and other equipment. Class must be finished by 3:30 pm.
