Pre-schooler Gymnastics Classes

[brian_singapore]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good pre-schooler gymnastics school classes in the east coast area preferably around Tampines, Loyang, Changi areas. I have 2 daughters aged 2 and 4.

We signed our daughter up for MyGym after a trial lesson despite it not being exactly what we were looking for. She was (and still is) really enjoying it, but it's more of a structured play gym with gymnastics elements then a gymnastics class. For the first 2 months the class size was consistently 7-8 students which worked well but all of sudden they've doubled the class size to 15-16 students. Now the students spend all of their time waiting their turn (and growing restless) and the free-play time has gone from 5 minutes between activities to about 30 seconds.

So we've decided maybe we should see what other options we have in the New Year. We'd be open to something similar (as my daughter really does enjoy it) with smaller class sizes but would prefer to find something a little more focused on teaching gymnastics and tumbling skills.

Prime Gymnastics in Toa Payoh is excellent. Low instructor/student ratio, and a parent-run program. The facility is not glamorous but they get the job done and have well qualified coaches, especially if your little one takes a shine to it and progresses to the higher levels.

Thanks for the referral, we'll be taking a look in January. (I think our current classes run until Feb)

My nephew used to go to Gymboree. They have few outlets. They also include some arts n craft activity after the gym session. But that was many years ago. Not sure if they have changed the program ( or if they are still around!)

So we took my daughter and did a trial class here (Prime Gymnastics) and she loved it. We've signed her up and she's been going for 3 weeks now.

This was exactly what we were looking for, thanks for taking the time to recomment.

That's good. Glad you liked it. They have a good quality programme with real coaches.

Take her up to the third floor sometime to watch the performance squads. She should like that!

After the trial class she was watching the older girls doing hand springs off a trampoline. I asked her if she wanted to learn to do that. She told me 'yes, but only when I'm 9'
