WHERE DOES GYMBUS TRAVEL? (Learn More)
The Gymbus travels throughout St. Louis and St. Charles counties providing gymnastics lessons to children at approximately 15 daycares, as well as weekly and monthly field trips to other centers in the area.
Our curriculum is designed to provide children with all the skills they would master in a gymnastic program offered at any of the gymnastic centers in the area. Our goal is to free up time in a parents’ busy evening by providing gymnastic lessons while their child is in daycare. Separate evaluation forms are used for 18 month – 3 year olds and for 3-5 year olds.
Each class is 30 minutes in length. We begin with a short warm up, followed by gymnastic instruction time, and a cool down activity at the end. Our program is 40 weeks long and divided into 4 terms (each 10 weeks long) and 2 sessions (each 20 weeks long). At the end of each term a participation award is given to every child. Every 20 weeks we also send home evaluation sheets so that parents can chart their child’s progress in the Gymbus.
