Sweetpeas Program
Sweet Peas is an educational gymnastics programme designed to promote physical, social and cognitive development in children 6 months to 6 years old. Early childhood provides important windows of developmental opportunity.
Basic components of a child’s neural development are genetically coded, however, trillions of finer neural connections are unprogrammed, and they are heavily influenced by enriching early childhood experiences. Research shows that movement and sensory activities strengthen and bond synapses – the essential connections between neurons. Sweet Peas’ Educational Gymnastics curriculum helps forge the architecture of a child’s brain that will serve him or her for a lifetime.
Founded in educational gymnastics, the Sweet Peas curriculum focuses on age appropriate gymnastics activities that foster coordination, balance, core strength,bilateral awareness and flexibility.
Taught in a social, collaborative environment, Sweet Peas provides important life lessons in self-awareness & courage.

Panthers
Our Panthers level focuses on independent thinking, developing strength and responding to visual cues. Children will learn the basics of floor skills, the names of the skills, bar skills and more. This class is for children 4 years old.
Lions
Our Lions level is the final level in our preschool programme. This class focuses on preparing children for our DP programme, with a focus on more in-depth learning of the basic gymnastics skills required for this next step.
All our pre-school gymnasts receive a star each week for their skill of the week and take home their completed chart at the end of the term. Every week we have a different theme such as Superhero week, Circus week etc to make it extra fun and engaging for our younger members.
