GYMNASTICS :: OVERVIEW

MORE THAN A GYMNASTICS PROGRAM…

Did you know that research has demonstrated that brain development is related to movement and the development of motor skills?

As children begin to develop motor skills, brain cells called neurons form connections called synapses. More connections result in better brain function.

The left brain thinks in pieces. It is sequential and it likes detail and language.

The right brain looks at the whole picture. It is kinesthetic, visual, and creative.

When children learn movement skills that involve the use of the right and left sides of the body in conjunction with one another, connections are formed resulting in better overall brain function!

At Tumble Bugs, our curriculum is designed to encourage your child's brain and body to work better together. Your child will learn skills that will not only improve their gross and fine motor development, but develop their sense of balance, stimulate their vestibular system and help to integrate their senses, all while they are doing what they do best–playing and having fun.

We call this type of play "active learning." Using play as a learning tool makes the child an active participant in their growth and development. It is challenging and rewarding for children (of all ages) to learn by unwrapping the layers a teacher has created.
