About
Tumbleweeds is a unique program with a specialized curriculum that benefits your child’s social, physical and psychological health. The program provides a solid foundation of physical literacy and cognitive tools to promote an active lifestyle as children mature.
Children will have a great time progressing through friendly and non-competitive classes designed to provide increased skill development, allowing kids to have fun while working at their own pace.
Tumbleweeds is divided into three primary categories, beginning with parent/child classes for infants and toddlers, pre-k level classes for kids ages three to four, and progressing into increasingly advanced movement skills for children ages four to five.
Our trained instructors are sensitive to children's individual abilities and personalities as they help guide you and your child through the various levels of the program. Kids can enter the program at any age.
Classes
All classes are 45 minutes in length and the instructor to child ratio never exceeds six to one.
Teeny Weeds
Parent and child classes for children ages 18 months to 3 years.
The parent and tot classes encourage parents to learn and play with their children. Parents participate with their child in structured play.
Perfect for little ones just learning to move, groove, and boogie! Whether your child is just starting to learn the ways their body can move, or love to run, play, and explore in a relaxed and minimally structured class setting, this age group is for you!
Tiny Weeds
Children ages 3 – 4
Tiny Weeds provides an introduction to the major movement patterns of gymnastics: swings, balances, locomotions, rotations and landings. Children develop a new and better understanding of their body’s relationship to the world around them.
Perfect for 3 year olds who like a little more structure in their class, 3 year olds turning 4, or for those who just turned four.
Mini Weeds
Children ages 4 - 5
While remembering that these children are motivated by fun, we use a series of progressions to teach them exciting movements.
Perfect for 4 year olds who are about to turn 5, or for those who just turned five.
Mini Max
Children ages 5 - 6
While remembering that these children are motivated by fun, we use a series of progressions to teach them exciting movements.
Perfect for five year olds about to turn six, or for those who just turned six. This class is an extension of our program for those who loved our classes, but aged out of the “Mini” age category. This class still offers the same relaxed structure of our other Tumbleweeds classes, but also adds in more challenging skill elements, should the participants desire so, while still keeping in my our “Play for physical activity” mindset. This class follows the Can Gym Burgundy badge progressions for those looking for a challenge.
Location
Located at the College of Kinesiology, Physical Activity Complex.
The program takes place in the Tumbleweeds facility, which is a 5000 sq ft. multipurpose room that includes a gymnastics floor, beams, mats, ropes, rings, apparatus and more. This fun, friendly environment offers something for all levels.
