TUMBLE BEES

6 weeks - 6 year olds


Since 1975 Tumble Bees℠ has been the premier preschool gymnastics program in the Greater Cincinnati area! Thousands of families will attest that their Tumble Bee℠ education has developed “happy, healthy, responsible children” into two generations of “happy, healthy, responsible adults”!


Tumble Bees℠ is so much more than a gymnastics program for preschoolers. Our emphasis is not on being the fastest, the strongest or the best. Instead, it is on the excitement of learning. We believe that every child wants to learn, and when we find that delicate balance between learning and play, children are inspired! With just the right amount of success and challenge, your child will discover that hard work is rewarding and that learning is fun.


TUMBLE BEES IS ON SOCIALS... FRIEND, FOLLOW, CHAT & MORE!

Cost Non-Prime (Daytime): $133 per month
Cost
Prime (Evening & Weekend): $144 per month

This 45 minute class is our last grown-up assisted class. This year is spent fostering independence and confidence by introducing concepts like sharing, taking turns and following directions in a stimulating and challenging environment.


Class begins with fine motor play with fine motor activity and songs before adventuring into the "big gym" for two stations focused on gross motor development.


The last part of class provides time for free exploration for those who require a break from instruction OR the option for continued circuit work for those children close to their third birthday.



Little Bees

Length: 45 Minutes

Ages: 3-4 ½ year olds

Cost Non-Prime (Daytime): $133 per month
Cost
Prime (Evening & Weekend): $144 per month

Our little bees classes are a big step for our preschoolers as they work in a group setting without parents. In this age group, our primary focus is gross motor development (coordination, strength, spatial awareness and body control).


During each 45 minute class, your little bee will have many opportunities for early gymnastics fundamentals as they begin to understand multi-step instructions and are able to follow directions independently.


Your child's teacher will provide a nurturing class environment as they encourage each child to grow in their independence as well as social and emotional development.


All of this adds up to increased skill development opportunities centered on creative lesson plans. Llike all of our parent participation classes, we close with bubbles and parachute.



Big Bees

Length: 45 Minutes

Ages: 4 ½-6 year olds

Cost Non-Prime (Daytime): $133 per month
Cost
Prime (Evening & Weekend): $144 per month

The classes are designed for children currently in preschool (or going into preschool if enrolling in the summer), can follow directions and are ready for a faster paced class. At this age your child has gained listening skills which allow for more opportunities to learn. Forward and backward rolling, cartwheels and handstands begin to take shape. By creatively incorporating more skill development into our lesson plans, your child will get hooked on learning!


All children develop at their own pace which means that we individualize activities as needed to offer just the right balance of challenge and succeess for each big bee.



Boys FAST

Length: 45 Minutes

Ages: 5-6 year old BOYS

Cost Non-Prime (Daytime): $133 per month

TUMBLE BEES℠ STAFF

We believe that the greatest strength of our program is our teachers. Tumble Bee℠ teachers have a genuine love for children, as well as a thorough understanding of early childhood development. Each of us is here to help your child grow and learn, and we do that through the fun and challenging activities we offer each week.

Research indicates that the primary reason children participate in sports is to have fun. The number one reason they quit is because it is not fun anymore. Our teachers understand this concept and are committed to creating a positive, fun, learning environment in every class. We know that the preschool years are the best time to learn to “love to learn."
