Strengthening Children in Mind and Body Through Successful Gymnastics Experiences Since 1966
PRESCHOOL CLASSES
ages as of June 1st for Summer Session
and September 1st for School Year Session
At Gleason’s we believe that children learn best in a welcoming atmosphere, filled with positive reinforcement and happy people. Our Preschool Program is designed to use gymnastics and fundamental body movements as a platform to build and strengthen ones' confidence, positive self-image and problem solving skills in a supportive environment. With weekly gymnastic lessons promoting a confident "I can do that" attitude children develop skills that lay the foundation for success throughout all aspects of their lives.
Children sign up for preschool classes by their age as of September 1st during the School Year Session
and will remain in the same class for the entire session regardless of when they have a birthday.
