Child Development, Preschool

Get Ready for Preschool!

There comes a time in every little one’s life when they have to transition from having their grownup by their side to facing the world on their own. Some move on with a smile on their face, never looking back. Others have a hard time, with lots of tears. Meanwhile, the grownup is dealing with all of the emotion around their “baby” no longer being one.

We understand how difficult that transition can sometimes be. That’s why, at Gymboree Play & Music, our programs grow with your child – from adult/child for our younger ones, to classes that include a parent-separation time, to our fully-independent School Skills preschool program – supporting their development from birth to kindergarten.

Our programs help foster the self-reliance your little one needs to brave their new world of independent learning with minimal tears and lots of smiles.

Child Development

Growing Young Minds

As a parent, you know what your child’s body needs to grow up strong and healthy: nutritious food (when they’ll eat it), plenty of rest (when they don’t fight it), and fresh air and sunshine (weather permitting).

But your little one’s brain also needs nourishment. While they are young, they need to be exposed to a variety of experiences, and allowed to experiment, investigate, make mistakes and try again. Play-based learning, music and art all support your child’s cognitive development, with their physical and social-emotional development as an added bonus!

It’s why we do what we do. Gymboree Play & Music has been supporting the development of young children for over 45 years, with a variety of engaging programs that grow with your child from birth to kindergarten.

Child Development

Give your child space to create

Babbling becomes singing, scribbling becomes drawing, the “toddler bounce” becomes dance…

All pop stars, artists and dancers started the same way: as little ones who were given the space and opportunity to explore their creative side.

At Gymboree Play & Music, we believe the process is so much more important than the product. Purple cats with three eyes, silly songs with made up words, and freestyle dance moves are all welcome here!

We Make Learning Fun

How about letting your little one be exactly what they are: LITTLE!

At Gymboree Play & Music, our programs grow with your child from birth to kindergarten – transitioning from adult/child classes for the younger ones to independent learning for the “big kids”- supporting physical, cognitive and social/emotional learning, including early literacy and math skills.

With plenty of opportunity to burn off some kid energy, sing, giggle and swim in a sea of bubbles, our classes are so fun they won’t even know they are learning.
