Kids doing cart wheelOur philosophy for children walking-six years is to teach them tumbling, dance and cheer in a fun, safe environment, while raising the child’s self-esteem. We believe in a success-oriented program that achieves perpetual motion and shouts FUN. With our curriculum based on tumbling and fitness, we can teach the basic physical skills while stimulating little minds to crave more learning and movement. Lesson plans are changed every two weeks for challenging fun. We incorporate nutritional information in an enjoyable manner to help fight childhood obesity. Jungle Gym is a member of the Mommy and Me Association, using activities that encourage the interaction and relationship between parent and child (class ages walking - 3 years).

bigger family discount for tumbling, cheer and dance – 15%.  Only the largest tuition in the family pays full price, all lesser tuition fees will be discounted 15%. No other local dance or gym school gives this large of a family discount.  We LOVE families and want all the kids to be able to attend their favorite classes at Jungle Gym.
