Tumble Tikes was founded in 2010 by Kim and Tim after they welcomed their son, Jackson. The leadership team includes Founder and Lead Coach Kim DeMado, Tumble Tikes Party Host and Coach Bri Steinmetz, and Tumble Tikes Coach and Party Host Elizabeth Adams. Coach Kim has over 30 years of gymnastics coaching experience, a background as a competitive athlete, began teaching fitness in 1990, became a group fitness director, and is a mother of four. The coaches are described as experienced and certified professionals.

The program’s mission is to create a fun, safe space where kids and families can build healthy habits together. Tumble Tikes focuses on helping kids and grown-ups develop physical abilities and self-confidence while having fun and keeping fit, with classes and camps that range from first steps to confident cartwheels. The program emphasizes connection, confidence, joy, and a safe, nurturing space where every child is celebrated, and it describes its space as inclusive and sensory-friendly.

Tumble Tikes notes that it is for kids and grown-ups who love to move, grow, and have fun together, from first tumbles to birthday parties, and describes its approach as building strong bodies and bright minds one joyful jump at a time. The company states that it believes the early years are the most important in a child’s life and that passion for fitness and families is critical to having the best people on its team. It is always seeking self-motivated, organized staff who want to join a larger community of family fitness.

Tumble Tikes is excited to collaborate with local instructors and entrepreneurs as Community Partners and is looking to connect with music educators, art instructors, yoga teachers, fitness, boot camp and mat Pilates instructors, martial arts instructors, and other enrichment and wellness providers. The program offers a Tumble Tikes Community Partner program to support these collaborations. Tumble Tikes also shares plans to introduce specialized classes, open gyms, and support groups to provide a welcoming gym space for all families.

A parent testimonial from Amanda T. of South Portland, ME, states, “Tumble Tikes has been a game-changer for my child's tumbling journey. The instructors are incredibly supportive and nurturing.”
