The pre-school program at LOA offers more than just a great time learning gymnastics. The atmosphere in this program is full of energy and excitement. Our trained instructors guide and teach students with caring words and actions. We focus on the development of age-appropriate motor skills and creative movement. This independent class, for young hopefuls, teaches the basics of gymnastics and encourages the kids to have fun while learning. Lesson plans and progressions are based on developmental milestones and include developing independence, social skills, hand-eye coordination and fundamentals.
