Gymboree Play & Music Center050

Gymboree, which runs a chain of high end clothing stores for children, also offers play, music, and art classes - in a brightly colored, tactilely exciting environment - for children ages newborn-five. Classes emphasize physical and social development (and peer support for parents), sneaked in under the guise of simply having a lot of fun. Prospective students are invited to check out a free trial class; call the location you're interested in to arrange or just drop in. Play classes are divided up into age-appropriate groups that meet at different times. Children and their parents sing, make music, move, explore, and play with props like a parachute and a large ball, in an environment geared toward the age group's interests and abilities. Music classes help kids learn about and explore music through age-appropriate songs and music play, instrument exploration, movement, and emphasis on melody, pitch, and rhythm and other music basics. Art classes engage kids in a wide variety of arts experiences, with a focus on allowing kids to exercise their creativity. Parties: A Gymboree birthday party is a nice way to throw a bash for energetic little kids. Gymboree gives you a room full of play equipment, an enthusiastic teacher, and a Gymboree class. You have a chance to personalize the party by selecting a theme your child will appreciate.Check the website for a location near you.
