About the provider

The Little Gym first opened in 1976. It says its approach is Three-Dimensional Learning: Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid, and it describes its mission as nurturing the whole child through movement-based learning and imaginative play.

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 class is missed, a make-up class can be added to the account; make-ups expire after 6 months and can only be used while actively enrolled.

What families say

“We love little gym my little one looks forward to class every week! She has really gained confidence in her balance and ability to do gymnastics I often see her do different things she’s learned in class at home.” — Sara Thompson

“The staff is great and very helpful. I don’t expect them to be constantly behind my kid but I do see they ensure that overall orderliness is maintained. My major annoyance is from the parents that are constantly with their kids in their class.” — parth shah

“We absolutely love The Little Gym! It’s such a fun, welcoming place for kids to learn, move, build confidence, and try new things.” — Kassi Harris
