A few of Xander’s favorite activities to do at Gymboree Play & Music are parachute time, popping bubbles & exploring all the different obstacles during free play. Aside from being a mommy, I am a dental assistant & I am continuing my education to become a hygienist.

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Neda

Hello families! I’m Neda and I have sweetest 13 and a half month old little girl, Aurora. Aurora has been going to Gymboree Play & Music for a few months now and I would say it’s hands down her favorite place to be. She’s developed an insane amount sincethe first time I took her. Her favorite is rolling the air log, running under the parachute, gymbo time, oh and squirming out of mommy’s arms and darting for whatever catches her little eye.

We just are die hard Gymboree Play & Music Fans and have loved what the classes have done for Aurora. She’s become more sociable with her friends in class and is up for any new obstacle challenge. Thanks for creating a fun place where I can watch my baby bloom each day! I’m ecstatic to share what the program has done for us with other families.

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Jennifer

Hi my name is Jennifer. My son Snow Phoenix is 11 months old. We live in las Vegas, NV. We’ve been going to the Summerlin Gymboree Play & Music classes for about 2 months and it has been amazing.

At our 9 month doctor checkup Snow still was not crawling. The doctor wasn’t worried yet, but did say we may need an early intervention to help him start crawling if he wasn’t by age 1.  I had heard about Gymboree Play & Music from a friend and decided that possibly if Snow got some socialization he may see the other kids crawling and copy them. We attended only 3 play and learn classes before he was a crawling master.

I feel so thankful for Gymboree Play & Music because it has helped Snow progress so much. Snow lovesssss Gymboree Play & Music ; we’ve attended play and learn 2 & 3, music, and have had play dates at open gym. Gymboree Play & Music classes I feel are amazing and really tend to the different ages needs and the teachers are all so extremely attentive and amazing. It’s a toss up between hanging out in the rainbow tunnel and being underneath the giant parachute for Snow’s favorite thing to do at Gymboree Play & Music We love meeting all the families at our Gymboree Play & Music and look forward to meeting more through the Gymbofam.  Thank you Gymboree Play & Music!!!

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Katherine

Hello everyone! My name is Katherine Rodriguez-Aguero and this is my daughter Genevieve Aguero. She just turned 1 and we had her first birthday at our local Gymboree Play & Music: Bayside! We couldn’t think of any other place to have her birthday. She loves all her instructors and felt in her element, laughing with her buddies, clapping along to the music and shaking those wiggles! Genevieve started Play & Music when she was 2 months and we haven’t looked back.

As an early childhood educator, I recognize the importance of play through songs and activities. Gymboree Play & Music offers that and so much more. Genevieve loves having the spotlight when she goes round and round. She’s learning the basics of sharing and taking turns as she awaits to crawl up the ramps. Genevieve loves her Gymbo collection at home!

Most importantly, we want to thank Gymboree Play & Music for not only helping our daughter reach those important developmental milestones but for giving us the chance as parents to witness them. Going to her Play & Learn classes takes us away from our hectic work-home lifestyles and provides us with the opportunity to enjoy our daughter in all these wonderful infant-toddler stages. We can’t wait till she’s old enough for art and preschool skills!

The boys love the to run, jump and climb during Gymboree Play & Music class. I love that the boys learn to share with others and think logically during our classes with Ms. Kiki, Ms. Sara and Ms. Eileen.

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Mercedes

Hello, I’m Mercedes! A habitual DIY’er and homesteader, I am the proud mama to the sweet, good natured, almost 2 year old Reagan. We learn from each other every day. I teach him colors and the alphabet, he teaches me unconditional love is and what life looks like through the eyes of a child.

We started Gymboree Play & Music classes as a way to pass the winter by, and now we couldn’t imagine leaving! Within his first month, I saw confidence bloom in my overly shy child. I was, and continue to be blown away by Reagan’s ability to learn through play. Working with other children to learn teamwork and sharing, laughing and being silly with his teachers, the proud look on Reagan’s face when he accomplishes something are my favorite moments. Reagan’s favorite activities are bubbles and bopping on the air log, so naturally everything at our house has become air log material and one of his first words was “bubble”!

Gymboree Play & Music has been a wonderful place for Reagan to learn valuable skills and express his creativity. The teachers and staff have become our friends (and the play room our second home), I can’t imagine finding a better place than Gymboree Play & Music!

I look forward to meet moms who love Play & Music as much as we do.

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Krissy

Hey there, everyone! Our names are Josiah and Krissy and we’re the parents of the most spunky and adventurous 2-year old named Noah. Our little guy has been going to Gymboree Play & Music for the past year and we’ve seen so much change in him since starting.

It’s given him confidence to come out of his shell and learn new things. His favorite activity when at Gymboree Play & Music is anything to do with the parachute or bubbles. His face literally lights up when he knows the teacher will bring it out for them to play with. It’s been an absolute joy watching him grow up through this program.

On top of being his parents,  dad is a Parole Officer and mom is a stay at home entrepreneur who works in the social media field. There is nothing better than seeing our son play at Gymboree Play & Music because we know he’s constantly learning new ways to work on his development. We’re looking forward to what else he is able to accomplish and how much more he is able to grow.

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Vanessa

Hi everyone! My name is Vanessa and my sweet, silly, adventurous two year is Claire.

We have been coming to Gymboree Play & Music classes mostly to burn off some toddler energy but have gotten so much more out of the classes that I never imagined! Claire loves the games and songs she learns during play and learn and in her music classes and is always up for a Gymbo dance!

I love the social aspect for both Claire and I love how Claire is much less shy and has even expanded her vocabulary. It also helps me as a mom meet other moms who have kids the same age.

I can’t wait to connect with other families!

Meet GymboFams Ambassador Jackie

My name is Jackie and my 11.5 month old daughter, Avery, has been attending Gymboree Play & Music since she was 3 months old. I had terrible post partum depression and knew that we needed to get out of the house to meet other moms and babies. I did not feel confident handling Avery and felt like I did not have “the mom gene.” I will never forget how scared I was in my first class when I had to lay on my back, bend my knees in, lay Avery on my legs, and rock her from side to side.
Although I was very scared at first, we ended up having so much fun during our first class and I quickly realized that the other parents were learning too. From then on, we were hooked. Saturday mornings are spent at Gymboree Play & Music , where we watch our baby blossom and learn new skills, while Mom and Dad learn new ways to engage with our baby. I am so thankful for Gymboree Play & Music , it helped Avery’s curiosity and mobility skills blossom, all the while I gained confidence as a new mom. My mother-in-law enjoys taking Avery to class on the weekdays, and Dad never misses Saturday class. We are a GymboFam!
