At BestStart Clarence Street, we believe in offering many fun, diverse and learning opportunities through providing out of centre experiences for our children (tamariki) within our community.
That’s why every Monday from 9:00 am to 10:00am, we adventure out into our community at our local YMCA, which offers a fun and energetic gymnastics class for children over 2 years old.
Our weekly gymnastics sessions are designed to encourage young children to develop their motor skills, balance, coordination, and confidence in a safe and supportive environment alongside our community.
Our children get to experience and learn a range of gross motor skills such as stretching and flexibility, balancing, hand-eye coordination, independence, ball skills, and basic tumbling. We explore a new and exciting playful obstacle course each week that keeps them engaged and excited to go back.
Gymnastics not only supports physical development but also helps improve focus, social skills, and self-discipline. It’s a fantastic way for children to channel their energy positively, build friendships, and gain a sense of accomplishment with every new skill they master.
Parents love seeing their children grow stronger and more confident each week, and the children look forward to their Monday morning gym sessions with great enthusiasm.
