Babies grow and change every day, and suddenly you turn around and they are toddlers who love to run and jump and climb and roll!  World Cup Romperee Gymnastics classes provide the perfect safe and fun-filled environment in which to do just that.  Our Romperee Gymnastics program is designed to promote development for all children from 3 – 30 months at their own rates as we introduce them to sliding, rolling, and bouncing, which eventually changes to crawling, jumping, running, and swinging.  We know you’ll enjoy Romperee classes with Marissa Wolpinsky, our Romperee Program Coordinator, who loves to help each child have fun and feel successful as they learn and grow.

Every Romperee class lasts 45 minutes.  We start with 10 – 15 minutes of circle time as Marissa sings age-appropriate songs to encourage both gross motor and small motor development.  Circle time is followed by 20 minutes of free play and exploration.  Every class ends with another short circle activity (parachute, puppets, scarves, etc.), and always includes bubbles and stamps.

INFANTS (3 – 7 mos.)

Our Infant classes introduce your child to many new and exciting sights, sounds, and movements.  We sing to them as they watch and enjoy our facial expressions.  We clap our hands and snap our fingers as they listen and learn about noise and rhythm.  We rock and bounce and slide with them as they experience different movement sensations. 

CRAWLERS (7 – 12 mos.)

Ready or not, Crawlers are ready to explore more on their own.  They begin to mimic our hand motions and anticipate the movements that match the songs we sing during circle time.  They love to move constantly around the room as we help them to crawl uphill and through tunnels, ride on and push cars, climb up and down stairs, and slide, roll, and bounce whenever the chance arises.  Watch out or they might “cruise” right past you…

NEW WALKERS (10 – 16 mos.)

Truly overnight a whole new world has opened up.  Your baby has become a New Walker.  Circle time becomes a challenge as walking becomes an option so we focus on songs that encourage even more jumping, moving, bouncing, and constant movement.  We continue to introduce them to new activities as they begin to interact with each other and explore the world from an “upright” position.

RUNNERS (15 – 23 mos.)

Runners are constantly on the run, and Romperee is the perfect place for them.  Our circle time will often begin standing, walking, dancing, and jumping, rather than sitting. The children begin to “request” their favorite songs and steal the show as they perform every movement and motion.  They are ready to learn to hang and swing, jump and of course run!  Hold on to your hats and let the fun begin!

JUMPERS (22 – 30 mos.)

Our oldest class at Romperee is an unending whirlwind of activity.  Circle time is exciting as the children can finally do most of it on their own.  They jump, dance, and sing along with every song as we watch, amazed at their boundless energy.  They begin to build real friendships and join their friends while we supervise them swooping down the slide, swinging on the bars and rings, jumping in the air castle, and rolling down the hills.  We also begin to introduce basic gymnastics positions and skills (straddle, pike, butterfly, tuck, tunnel, table) so that they will be ready to “graduate” to our Preschool Gymnastics program next door in the “big gym.”
