Preschool Classes
Parented and Non-Parented Classes
10mo - 5 years
At Altadore Gymnastic Club, repetition builds confidence, coordination, and foundational skills—especially in our Preschool (Active Start) program for children under 6. With fun, themed classes and consistent practice, young athletes stay engaged while developing strong movement patterns.
As children grow, our spacious gym lets them train on full equipment year-round—unlike smaller spaces that rotate setups. While our layout stays familiar, evolving drills keep kids progressing.
All classes are led by NCCP Certified Coaches for a safe, supportive, and skill-building experience.
