Our Kindy Gym program is the most reputable in Australia, under the direction of Gai Forrest who was NSW Kindergym Co-ordinator for 5 years.
In our Kindy Gym classes, the gym is set up in a safe, yet challenging environment so children can explore, experiment, and achieve with the support of their parents/carers.
Our aim is to make learning fun while teaching the concepts of movement. The emphasis is on assisting development of fine and gross motor skills, and enhancing hand/eye co-ordination.
Kindy Gym is the basis for all sports, teaching children important skills while developing their overall coordination. Our Kindy Gym program provides young children with the opportunity to explore many forms of movement through the use of a wide range of equipment, as well as some funky music and songs too!
Just a few rules to abide by:
- Be punctual. Your child will participate much better if you arrive before the class starts so the children all come in together.
- See the office each week to check name off and receive a “stamp.”
- Dress appropriately— No loose, baggy clothing or jewellery please. T-shirt and shorts is fine or a leotard for girls. Also, no dress-up costumes. Keep these for home play!
- Hair tied back for girls and no jewellery.
