Keep Your Young Child Busy in The Summer

Your memories of summer camp probably include making lanyards and archery. But, let’s be honest, no one wants to see a two-year old with a bow and arrow!

At Gymboree Play & Music, you can build your child’s own “summer camp” experience – “hiking” across a variety of playscapes, exploring our Gymcushion tent, doing craft projects, or singing songs with friends – with a variety of programs that are sure to delight you and your child:

  • Play & Learn: our original, and signature, program that grows with your child from birth to kindergarten
  • Music: get your little Swiftie moving and grooving to a variety of musical styles from around the world
  • Art: every child has creativity just waiting to be unleashed. But how much better is it when the accompanying mess is somewhere other than your house!
  • Preschool prep: we offer a fun, no stress way to gently introduce your child to independent learning, with parent/child play time followed by a gentle separation time
  • Preschool: our School Skills program is an easy transition to fully independent learning, preparing them for kindergarten

As always, all our play-based programs support your child’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional development.

Pick your favorite, or combine a few, for a fun summer at your local Gymboree Play & Music location that will keep your child busy, happy and learning.

Resolutions: Done!

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes us all reassess our goals and priorities.

Things like: 

  • I want to spend more quality time with my little one
  • I want to be less distracted, more present
  • I want to meet new people who are facing the same challenges (and joys) of raising a young child
  • I want to do everything I can to support my child’s development

Surprise! We can help with all of that!!

Our classes grow with your child from birth to kindergarten, and give you time each week to: 

  • Enter your child’s world of play without distractions
  • Make new friends whose children are at the same place developmentally as your little one, and 
  • Have fun while supporting your child’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional development

Find a Gymboree Play & Music location near you, and mark your resolutions as DONE!

Top 5 Reasons to Attend in the Summer!

Summer, summer, summer, summertime!

It’s tempting to just cancel everything and enjoy unstructured days. But that may not be the best decision for you and your little one.

Here are the Top 5 Reasons to attend our programs in the summer:

  • We’re safer than a playground: our proprietary equipment is specially designed for children up to 5 years old, and there are no “bigger kids” running them over or slamming into them as they come down a slide.
  • We are temperature controlled: you don’t have to worry about rain or excessive sun and heat. You don’t have apply sunscreen to a squirmy toddler, or douse your child with bug spray.
  • We are a safe environment for them to explore: no chasing a toddler around an unconfined area, having your new walker fall on the pavement, or having your baby eat sand.
  • It keeps your the routine your child is used to: as tempting as unstructured days may sound, little ones find a reliable routine to be comforting.
  • Siblings can attend together: we offer classes specially designed to engage multiple age groups, so you can enjoy class as a family!

No matter the reason or season, Gymboree Play & Music is here for you!

So many colors, so little mess!

We have Miss Alex for Art class, Sat at 1pm in Corona, CA.  Jaydon moved to School Skills class from Miss Alex’s art class. We are very grateful for having Miss Alex as an art teacher.

Not only is she extremely kind and patient, but is very instrumental when it comes to teaching our little ones about colors, combining colors, sharing, taking turns and staying clean. How she does that, I don’t  know, but am so happy she keeps them happy, inspired and clean. We love to see her on School Skills days when she is available to help with Miss Coco’s class. She’s always ready in case she is needed in class.

Always with such a warm smile. No wonder she is one of Jaydon’s favorite people there at Gymboree Play & Music!! We miss doing art class with Miss Alex, but are happy to see her when she there to help out with School Skills Class. Thank you Miss Alex for always greeting us with a smile and kindness. It is because of teachers like you that we keep coming back.
