About the provider

The Little Gym first opened in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and the source says this year marks 50 years since it first opened its doors. The Little Gym says it gives kids a place to laugh, learn, and discover who they are, and that it challenges children to master physical, emotional, and life skills through Three-Dimensional Learning.

For children under 3, a parent or caregiver must participate in class. For children 3 and up, parents are invited to watch from the lobby. Classes are limited to provide a small student/teacher ratio. If a child misses a class, a make-up class can be added to the account; make-ups expire after 6 months and can only be used while actively enrolled.
