Gymnastics

At Flagstaff Christian Preschool, movement matters. That’s why we offer a specially designed gymnastics program that combines fitness, fun, and foundational skill-building—all in a playful, safe, and confidence-boosting environment for young learners.

Our gymnastics class is more than just physical activity—it’s a vital part of helping children develop coordination, focus, and perseverance, while celebrating every little victory along the way.

Each session begins with fun, age-appropriate warm-ups and stretches, getting little bodies ready to move and minds ready to focus. Children then rotate through exciting obstacle courses that build balance, agility, and control using real gymnastics equipment and creative challenges.

Your child will explore:

• Tumbling basics
   
• Balance beam walking
   
• Uneven bars practice
   
• Mini-vaulting
   
• Floor work and more
   

They’ll master foundational body positions such as:

• Tuck
   
• Pike
   
• Straddle
   

These key shapes set the stage for more advanced movement skills and body awareness.

As the semester progresses, children are gradually introduced to beginner gymnastics skills like:

• Handstands against the wall
   
• Forward and backward rolls
   
• Cartwheels and balance holds
   

Throughout each class, they’ll develop not only motor skills and strength, but also:
✅ Listening and following directions
✅ Persistence through practice
✅ Self-confidence in their achievements

Each week, your child will come home excited with take-home materials that reflect the week’s gymnastics theme—bringing classroom joy into your living room!

At the end of the session, parents receive a personalized progress report, celebrating your child’s accomplishments and highlighting their physical, emotional, and developmental growth.

✅ Builds strength, flexibility, and coordination
✅ Teaches discipline and perseverance in a joyful way
✅ Encourages risk-taking in a safe and supportive environment
✅ Enhances focus, self-esteem, and whole-body wellness
✅ Offers creative, purposeful movement designed for preschoolers

With every hop, tumble, and balance, your child is learning to believe in themselves. Our gymnastics program turns movement into meaningful growth—laying the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits and confidence.
