Funtastics offers a variety of programs for children from 18 months through 18 years old, incorporating all ability levels. We believe children learn best while having fun, and encourage each child to achieve their personal best in a nurturing, positive atmosphere.
Carolyn, our REcreational Program Manager creates fun and challenging lesson plans each week to keep our youngest students "on the move"! Theme weeks are incorporated into each session for our younger students for a really special treat! Educators tell us that children's success in school is strongly influenced by early experiences that help shape a child's self-concept. A child who has developed a strong sense of self confidence and self-esteem is going to approach future situations with confidence, and a good chance of success. Our preschool gymnastics program is structured with this in mind. Our goal is for each child to experience maximum success & minimum failure! Focus is on the development of self esteem rather than skill acquisition. Every child needs to feel good about their accomplishments - no matter how big or how small!
Funtastics has several programs to meet the needs & interests of our school age students. Studies continually confirm that children involved in athletic activities are more likely to stay away from drugs, score higher academically, have better self esteem, and live a healthier lifestyle. We teach motor development, interpersonal relationship skills, perseverance, discipline, commitment, team work, and leaderships skills, in addition to gymnastics skills! But guess what? The kids just think they are having fun!
