Mom and Me

DeVeau's School of Gymnastics' Mom & Me program is for children who can walk up to the age of 2-1/2 years old.  By enrolling your child in the DeVeau's Mom & Me program you are giving your child the opportunity to:

--spend time with you
--have FUN!
--increase his/her self-esteem
--socialize with other children
--learn body movement

Our staff is committed to providing a safe and fun learning environment for both you and your child.  Mom & Me focuses on parent-child interaction, gross motor movement, hand-eye coordination, and basic gymnastics skills and positions.  Instructors will teach skills on vault, bars, balance beam, floor exercise (tumbling), and trampoline.  You'll also have plenty of fun-time in the pit!

Your role in Mom & Me is to assist your child with activities and skills taught by your instructor.  Try to let your child do as much as possible -- you'll be surprised at what they can accomplish!  To build self-esteem, praise your child for a job well done (or even for a good try) with hugs, high fives, etc.  Please stay with your child at all times.  Your instructor will be teaching spotting techniques in class, so you will have an important role in keeping your child safe.

Each session your child will learn four new themes ("Backwards", "Animals", "1-2-3", etc.) in class.  Mom & Me lessons are repeated two weeks in a row for better comprehension and retention.  If your child does not want to participate in the class activity at some point (it happens to everyone), let your child explore what they are interested in.  Try to find a "teachable moment" if possible, and eventually your child will want to rejoin the group.  Be sure to stay with the group as much as possible in the main gym (downstairs) for safety's sake.

Our goal is to give you and your child a fun, safe and educational experience each week.  HAVE A GREAT CLASS!
