Preschool Programs

At Perrysburg Gymnastics Center we offer four unique and separate gymnastics programs for children age 3 through age 7. These programs include: Wiggles & Giggles, Kinder Gym, Movers & Shakers, and Dance Divas.

Perrysburg Gymnastics Center's program goals are to:

1. Encourage children to have FUN and enjoy gymnastics.
2. Develop preschool children's physical potential, flexibility, strength, rhythm, discipline and coordination.
3. Build preschool children's confidence and enhance their self image.
4. Develop social skills through interaction with other children.

Preschool gymnastic classes are carefully planned for young gymnasts. Our lesson formats give children a large variety of gymnastic movements. The children work on all pieces of gymnastic apparatus with the predominant emphasis on tumbling skills. During the fun-filled 45 minutes, children are encouraged to go beyond their own expectations and perceived limitations.
