Often kids wear shorts and a t-shirt or sweat pants and a t-shirt, depending on the time of year it is. Leotards are also often worn, however make sure not to put them on with tights as the children participate barefoot (no shoes, socks or slippers). Children with long hair should have their hair tied up and out of their face.

Each class begins with a warm up and stretch which is done in a fun, unique and interactive way between the kids. We play games and use music to get them enjoying the warm up and involved in the activities. After the warm up the kids will rotate to different apparatus where they will learn different skills appropriate for the age and ability. The apparatus they will go to are trampoline, floor circuit, bars, beam, rings, vault. For more details on each apparatus see our unique graduated system.

In KinderBounce Gymnastics the kids will have the opportunity to be physically active while interacting with their parents and the facilitator. We will teach you the correct way to hold your child on the bars, beam, floor and vault apparatus. The all time favorite trampoline is always a hit where the kids will learn to jump and develop their core strength which is important to start at a young age. We also have several trainer trampolines for the really young ones who may need the handle bars to assist with the jumping.

Our program is for boys and girls. In fact we have a 50/50 split for the most part between the two genders. It is an excellent sport for any child to participate in regardless of gender.

ymnastics, especially at a young age, is such a great sport to help develop your child into a strong, flexible, agile and coordinated young athlete. Whether your child is already all of the above or needs to improve on their gross motor skills (GMS) gymnastics is an important sport for children to participate in. Gymnastics is the type of sport which develops the kids GMS that they can eventually filter into any other sport of their choice later on down the road. KinderBounce Gymnastics focuses on each child's strengths and weaknesses to help them develop into an all-round athlete or become the gymnast they aspire to be.

Most children with age become climbers, swingers, jumpers, and just naturally move about in their surroundings. With a gymnastics program like KinderBounce your child will learn how to safely do all of the above and more. The goal of KinderBounce is to help children improve in their strength, agility, coordination, balance and more which will make their natural movements more safe but it will allow them to become more confident in their own abilities and athleticism. KinderBounce instructors all have NCCP artistic gymnastics and trampoline certification and all have experience working with children. With the proper instruction, equipement and safety mats KinderBounce provides an excellent learning environment for children.

The Fit for Life Group donates sessions to different school auctions and provides services for various schools.

First we begin with a warm up and games usually coordinated with music. We then split the kids into groups (6:1 ratio max but normally sticking to 5:1). Each group gets to rotate to each apparatus which includes trampoline, bars, beam, floor circuit, rings and vault. At the end of the rotations they come back together as a large group and participate in parachute activities and stickers time.

Afterwards the children go into the party room where they get to have food and/or cake (decided by and supplied by the birthday family).

The entire party lasts 1.5 hours. 1 full hour inside the gym including instructors and 30 minutes in the party room for food and cake.

KinderBounce provides the staff to clean up the party room. The hosts are responsible for their own items to bring them into and out of the facility.

We also supply the invitations that are printed in color (the only thing you need to fill in is the name of the child you are giving the invitation to) everything else is printed directly onto the invitation. As well we provide name tags for all the children and stickers for the end of the gymnastics party.

The hosts are responsible for sending out the invitations provided by KinderBounce. Food, cake and drinks and anything else you serve it in (plastic and paper ware). You are also responsible for décor for the party room and any loot bags presented to the children afterwards.

5 - 7 days before the party the host is responsible for providing KinderBounce with a list of names pre-divided into groups. This way we ensure that each child is placed together with their friends and groups of kids they would like to be with. This way the birthday boy/girl can choose the friends they want in their group ahead of time. KinderBounce then uses the list and color coordinates the name tags so everything is organized and divided ahead of time and the coaches have an easier time placing the kids in their pre-selected groups.

$50.00 deposit is required within a week of booking the date of the party. The balance is paid on the day of the party.

All dancers involved in a potential semi-private group must go through an assessment with the program director in order to determine whether they are a good match.

No they do not have to be a competitive dancer. However they need to be committed and have specific goals in mind for their private session. Private lessons are not only physically demanding they are also costly in comparison to a group class, therefore it is important for all parties involved to be sure this is the right avenue for the child to pursue.
