10 -17 Months
Tiny Tots Class
We believe parent and child gym classes are the ultimate multitask: staying active and bonding with your kiddo—without needing a babysitter or a time machine. It’s never too early for your little one to start learning, moving, and having some Serious Fun (yes, that includes bubbles). From infant to toddler, our parent and child classes help spark early development and build a strong foundation during those all-important first three years. And since you’re right there alongside them, you won’t miss a single wobble, giggle, or “did-you-see-that?!” moment—complete with smiles, hugs, and the occasional adult-sized giggle.
Wondering when to start parent and child gym classes? The answer is easy: as soon as your baby hits 4 months old and is ready to roll (sometimes literally). The earlier you get moving together, the better. Research shows that babies who stay active early on tend to grow into healthier kids—and our classes are ready whenever you are.
