The Little Gym offers a diverse line-up of programs that include music, movement, learning, and, most importantly, fun!

Citizen Kid!: This program helps create well-rounded and well-adjusted individuals by teaching patience, sharing, group work, and listening.

Capitalizing on over 45 years of hands on experience, early childhood research, and thoughtful parental feedback, The Little Gym has developed a unique curriculum based on a holistic "Three-Dimensional" approach to learning. Through this philosophy, children are challenged to master new physical, emotional, and life skills, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy habits.
Fun, physical activity is at the core The Little Gym's program. Children build flexibility and strength, develop balance and coordination, and improve their agility, rhythm and overall fitness.
Through all programs, children foster listening skills, sustained concentration, creative expression and problem-solving. These skills help prepare little ones for school and reinforce lessons learned by school-age children.
With physical activity as the framework, children learn life skills like sharing, working in a group, cooperation and leadership – all valuable tools to help them grow into well-adjusted, well-rounded citizens of their world.
