Our Parent & Tot and Preschool Classes

Monkey

A 40 minute “parent and tot” class for girls and boys, 18 months to 3 years old. Our specialized preschool staff will offer your toddler various structured activities such as gymnastics-inspired obstacle courses and exposure to activities performed on apparatus including low balance beams, low rings, trampolines, toddler-sized bars and parallel bars, small spring boards, and our foam pits. Your child will enjoy their “playtime” as they unwittingly develop gross motor skills, participate in engaging physical exercise, socialize, learn to follow directions, take turns, and even practice their numbers, colors and letters, with you right by their side, sharing the experience and bonding with them every step of the way!

Giraffe

A daytime class for girls and boys, 3 years of age, who are potty-trained and developmentally ready to participate in a 45 minute class without the assistance of a parent/guardian participant. Our warm and inviting preschool staff will offer your toddler various structured activities such as gymnastics-inspired obstacle courses and exposure to activities performed on apparatus including low balance beams, low rings, trampolines, toddler-sized bars and parallel bars, small spring boards, and our foam pits. We welcome you to sit back and relax in our viewing area and watch your child enjoy the fun as they develop gross motor skills, participate in engaging physical exercise, socialize, learn to follow directions and take turns, and even practice their numbers, colors and letters!

Hippo

A day time class for girls and boys, ages 3-5, who are potty-trained and developmentally ready to participate in a 45 minute class without the assistance of a parent participant. Our warm and playful preschool staff will offer your child various structured activities such as obstacle courses and exposure to activities and skills on apparatus including low balance beams, low rings, trampolines, toddler-sized bars and parallel bars, small spring boards, and our foam pits. 

We welcome you to sit back and relax in our viewing area as you watch your child develop and strengthen gross motor skills, participate in engaging physical exercise, socialize, practice following directions, take turns, and show off their knowledge in numbers, colors, letters and gymnastics terminology!

Zebra

A 55 minute evening and weekend class for girls and boys, ages 4-5, offered as a progression from our Giraffes and Hippos classes.   This class will continue in the use of obstacle courses to teach beginner gymnastics and safety training, but may also include exposure to the medium-height beams, larger vault boards, the floor exercise, larger bars, the rock wall, and, of course, further development of tumble skills on the trampoline and spring floor. Basic flexibility and strength training exercises are also introduced.

For ages 4-5, this 60 minute class is selectively offered, by recommendation of a Hunt’s instructor, to students who have been in our program at least 3 months, and exhibit the ability to focus effectively on harder level skills than those offered in the other preschool classes. As the difficulty level is increased, a little more emphasis is placed on strength and flexibility training as well, but don’t worry—you’re little ones won’t even know their “play” is hard work! While this class is geared toward recognizing and tracking talented, focused youngsters into our competitive program, it’s also just a fun way to develop the necessary characteristics for success in any sport!
