PARENT ADVISORY:
Please respect our age groups when registering. Attempts to fast track preschoolers can have negative implications to your child, the other children in the class and the teachers. This is the age to "love to learn" and to have multiple successes in a relaxed, fun, and loving atmosphere. We want Kids World Gymnastics to be A World Where Every Child Can Succeed!
