Hello!  I’m Lesley Holland from Las Vegas! I have been taking my daughter Ashya to Gymboree Play & Music since she was a year old. We tried our free first class when she was a few months old but actually started going more often when she was a year.

Ashya absolutely loves going to GymboreePlay & Music. She is now 5 and I’m sad that she will be aging out! But little brother Hunter age will take her spot! He already loves it and when big sis is in school he will get to enjoy more mommy time!

Around one month of age we noticed Kali’s eyes would light up as soon as you read, sang, or moved her body rhythmically. After showing her father a few videos of what Gymboree Play and Music classes had to offer we immediately agreed to give the classes a try.

Our first class was Gymboree Play & Music’s National Day of Play. Not only was the class packed but everyone was so kind. Our teacher took the time to allow each family to introduce themselves and their goals for their child. As new parents we definitely want Kali to socialize, but it is equally important that we feel comfortable with the adults involved as well. There is nothing worse than mommy and daddy cliques or uninterested teachers!

Even though we work full-time and are only able to attend classes on the weekend, we believe our investment is being returned twofold. We get to spend quality time with our daughter, in a fun, inclusive, friendly, environment; while supporting her overall development. Gymboree Play and Music classes are more than just a play date it is a community.

Hello! My name is Jeff Cronin and my wife is named, Krystle. We’ve been taking our son to Gymboree Play & Music for about 2 months now. He LOVES it! It’s been so great to see him progress in class from a 2 month old, to now a 4 month old. His favorite activities are the parachute, tummy time (we’ve never seen him love tummy time more than in class) and the Gymbo puppet song.

We first joined for a chance for my wife to get out of the house and we didn’t know anything about GymboreePlay & Music, but once we took the first class, we were hooked! We love having him around other babies his age and learning new songs with him. It’s also great to see how the other kids have progressed in class so we know what to expect. We can’t wait to get started as a GymboFam and meet other families.

Hi all. My name is Allison.

When my husband and I moved to Oregon, we knew we needed to find indoor activities to get through the rainy season (October to May). We started attending Gymboree Play & Music when our son, Christopher, now 4 years old, was 16 months old. He was an early walker, and non-stop mover. Gymboree Play & Music was the ideal environment to get his wiggles out (I only wish we had taken advantage of the unlimited open gym times).

Our daughter, Annie, now 2 years old, attended her big brother’s Gymboree Play & Music classes in the Ergo at 2 weeks. The teachers made it so easy to bring Annie, and Christopher’s schedule was unchanged – a big deal for a 2-year-old with a new sister. Annie started attending her own classes when she was 16 months old. She was a later walker than her brother, walking only a week prior to her first level 4 Gymboree Play & Music class.

This summer, we enrolled Christopher in Bubble Camp/Preschool Skills. With his enrollment, he also gets to attend Music, Art, and Family Gym. I cannot believe it took us two and a half years to discover these classes. Even though Christopher and Annie are at vastly different developmental stages, they are welcomed into these classes together and instructed at their individual levels.

Gymboree Play & Music is my kids’ happy place, I can honestly say they love their teachers. For me it is so much more – more than I can express in words. As a SAHM, there are days I need to get out and talk with adults. I am a member of a local mom’s group, but their activities do not always work with our schedules.

What I can be sure of atGymboree Play & Music, is weekly conversations with parents who have kids in similar stages as mine. We share stories, and offer solutions to kid challenges. There have been so many days I’ve walked into Gymboree Play & Music defeated, and after a 50 minutes class, come out with a new set of tools to handle a toddler situation.

Gymboree Play & Music is the best thing we have done as a family, my husband attends when his schedule allows. I am so excited to representGymboree Play & Music as a GymboFams Ambassador. I look forward to sharing our summer Gymbo experience.
