Welcome to Gymnastics Movement Education!
In order to answer some commonly asked questions, we have printed the following list of age appropriate skills.
Remember that during your KINDERGYM class you are responsible for staying with your child and guiding their activity
within the group. We encourage free movement exploration but ask that you remain close to the group so as to not
interfere with the other classes. If your child tends to roam, please redirect them to the proper area with the rest of the
class. Non-enrolled siblings, other than infants in carrier seats, are not allowed on the gym floor.
During this session we will be giving your children the opportunity to experience various movement patterns that can
help them develop motor perceptive skills. As always, should you have any questions on your child's development, please
do not hesitate to ask or call us anytime. According to the Center for Youth Development at the National Institute for
Fitness and Sport, a "typical" two year old should be at the following level of physical/motor/social development:
o Uses whole body action
o Walks on tip-toes
o Pushes, pulls, pokes
o Jumps with both feet
o Climbs into things
o Tries to stand on one foot
o Leans forward while running
o Gallops
o Climbs stairs one by one
o Turns door knob
o Dependent on adults for dressing
o Washes and dries hands
o Can help undress
o Puts on shoes, socks, pants
o Grasps with two hands
o Fills spoon
