Tumble Monkeys Pre-school Movement Education Program
We feel that every child should have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of movement
concepts and skills in a safe and positive learning environment. Each lesson is geared toward
developing the child's self-esteem and confidence. The lessons build over the weeks as the
children learn rolls, jumps, balancing, stretching and other motor activities.
Each class meets once a week for 1 hour.
Spider Monkeys (walking -3 Years)
A playful parent/tot class centered around age appropriate developmental movements with
strong emphasis on socialization and group movement.
Chimpanzees (3 Year Olds)
With mountains to climb, vines to swing on, and tramps to jump
on your playful chimps are on their own. More physically
challenging skills give the children stronger
bodies and sharper minds, as well as a clear understanding of their
bodies' capabilities and limitations.
Gorillas (4 and 5 Year Olds)
At this stage it is so important to allow the children to explore their
capabilities in a supervised setting. A time for their physical challenges to be monitored for safety
and that their attempts are rewarded so risks become exciting and "failed attempts" are seen for what
they are ...learning experiences.
