Parent tot classes are so much more than gymnastics. These classes for 18-36 month olds provide an incredible opportunity to spend quality one on one time with your toddler while introducing them to so many new concepts. The best parent and tot classes incorporate stations that help to develop fine and gross motor skills. In addition, the class provides an opportunity for your toddler to practice listening and following directions, interacting with other adults and children, and learning to take turns – important lessons needed for Preschool Gymnastics and traditional preschool.
Below are a few of my favorite parent and tot concepts:
- Swinging and hanging
- Balancing on anything and everything
- Throwing and catching
- Climbing
- Jumping
- Matching
- Following structure
- Being Upside Down
- Fine motor games
- Building strength
