Gymbaroo Babies

Gymbaroo Toddlers

The Gymbaroo program is currently a 5yr program designed to follow the way that the brain grows and develops, from birth through to reading and writing at school.

The program is designed sequentially from 6 weeks of age right through to starting school. I have heard parents say, after only completing one term of classes, "I have done Gymbaroo", and not acutally understood that they have only completed a tiny part of the program. They have only stimulated the part of the brain that was active at that time.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO COME TO GYMBAROO CLASSES IN EACH AGE GROUP?

The activities are specially designed for each age group so that you can make sure that you maximise each 6mths of development for your child and understand the importance of that stage for learning.

It is like building a house and if any part of the house has gaps then there can be problems.
