Preschool Gymnastics
Class Observation
Observation inside the gym is reserved for the final week of classes only. This promotes a safer environment, more conducive to learning. Parents wishing to observe prior to this time should utilize the observation window. At the final class, parents and guests will be invited to sit on the benches in the gymnastics corner. Sitting on mats or equipment is not permitted at any time. Also, as a safety precaution, we ask all parents to TURN OFF THEIR FLASH if they would like to take pictures.
