Gymnastics is not just about flips and tumbles; it's about nurturing young minds and bodies. Sweet Peas, the educational preschool gymnastics program at Wright’s Gymnastics & NinjaZone, embodies this philosophy by offering professional gymnastics instruction tailored for children ages 6 months to 5 years.
Depending on your kiddo's age, we work on fine motor skills, social interaction, listening skills, and other foundational levels of development. Sweet Peas is perfect for preschoolers who haven't been exposed to structured school or are preparing for Kindergarten. Let’s explore the unique features of Sweet Peas and how it nurtures the overall holistic development of young children!
The Science Behind Sweet Peas
Early childhood provides important windows of developmental opportunity. Basic components of a child’s neural development are genetically coded, however, trillions of finer neural connections are unprogrammed, and they are heavily influenced by enriching early childhood experiences.
Research shows that movement and sensory activities strengthen and bond synapses – the essential connections between neurons. Sweet Peas’ Educational Gymnastics curriculum helps forge the architecture of a child’s brain that will serve him or her for a lifetime.
A Blend of Education and Fun!
Sweet Peas is not your run-of-the-mill gymnastics program. It's like a special recipe tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of little ones. Children participate in fun gymnastics activities that provide educational opportunities to stimulate their brains. From memory activities to sequencing, spatial relations to pattern recognition, Sweet Peas offers a comprehensive learning experience disguised as play. Have you seen any other gymnastics programs cater to such young ages?
Sweet Peas Gymnastics was created by early childhood experts in California. We use the country's best preschool gymnastics curriculum because they do it right. Sweet Peas also aligns with our values of celebrating movement at all levels. The experts have taught us that getting your child upside-down at an early age is vital to their growth and development. We begin the program as children start to walk, and we continue through the preschool levels, with clear and necessary milestones along the way.
Our focus is on teaching and learning, whether it's mastering walking on the beam, swinging on the bars, or acquiring the fundamentals of a handstand, all in a fun and engaging environment. We understand that gymnastics is not just about physical activity; it's a chance for kids to grow socially and mentally. Sweet Peas is all about holistic development!
Gymnastics for Growth
Our program aims to boost confidence and promote brain development. Moreover, the challenges we offer them during the classes are similar to brain exercises, helping them become even smarter. We set a strong foundation for future learning, ensuring our students are well-equipped for academic success. For example, when your little one does a handstand, they strengthen their core muscles, balance, and cognitive skills. The brain has to work hard to coordinate the movements and maintain balance, which helps develop the neural pathways responsible for spatial awareness, problem-solving, and decision-making.
At an early age, we consider social and emotional development to be crucial. Sweet Peas provides an opportunity for your child to build confidence through participation in enjoyable group activities, developing social skills with peers, and encountering various emotions while acquiring new abilities.
Every time a child attends a Sweet Peas class, they are getting stronger, boosting their brainpower, and engaging with others! How cool is that?
