Babies, Toddlers & Pre-School Ages
Jungle Jym-tastics! is our preschool gymnastics program designed just for children under age five. These fun, active classes focus on building fine and gross motor skills, playground readiness, social-emotional growth, and foundational gymnastics—while also supporting important sensory development like balance and body awareness.
Our equipment is specially sized for smaller hands and bodies, so even our tiniest athletes can do “real gymnastics”—just like the big kids. Circuits and stations keep little ones constantly moving and engaged, while extra soft trampolines and foam pits provide a safe and exciting space for jumping, climbing, and exploring.
While classes are generally organized by age, our flexible curriculum meets children where they are developmentally—because we know that every child grows at their own pace.
Cubs–infant to 12 months (with a grown up)
Joeys–12 months to 3 years (with a grown up)
Elephants–ages 3 and 4 (gymnastics)
Tigers–ages 3 and 4 (advanced gymnastics)
Lions–ages 3 and 4 (NinJAG for preschoolers)

Cubs/Joeys
Cubs ages (infant-walker) - 45 minutes
Joeys ages (walking-3) - 45 minutes
Cubs and Joeys are JAG’s caregiver participation classes designed for our youngest movers. In a fun, structured environment, babies in Cubs and toddlers in Joeys develop and refine their fine and gross motor skills, improve coordination, and build body awareness—all while practicing early social and listening skills.
With age-appropriate gymnastics, music, and games, these classes offer a joyful introduction to movement and provide a great bonding experience between caregivers and children and a wonderful chance to meet some of baby’s first friends.
Elephants
Ages 3–4, coed (45 minutes)
In Elephants, preschoolers take big steps toward independence as they explore gymnastics using both preschool-sized and “big kid” equipment. This high-energy class features obstacle courses, skill stations, and plenty of movement to keep kids challenged and engaged.
While gymnastics is the heart of the class, we also focus on building the skills needed for Kindergarten readiness and general sports preparedness—like following directions, taking turns, and developing strength, coordination, and confidence—all in a fun and supportive environment.
Lions
Ages 3-4, coed (45 minutes)
Lions is high-energy, all-action fun—the perfect introduction to the world of NinJAG movement for preschoolers! Inspired by gymnastics, martial arts, obstacle training, and freestyle movement, this class keeps even the most active little ones moving, climbing, and exploring.
In addition to building physical skills, Lions helps kids develop confidence, listening, persistence, and the ability to try new things—even when they’re challenging. Through a smart mix of progressions and purposeful play, Lions lays the foundation for both athletic growth and emotional resilience.
Tigers
Ages 3-4 (45 minutes) | by Invitation
Tigers is for our preschool pros who’ve mastered the Elephants curriculum and are ready to take on bigger challenges. This invitation-only class bridges the gap between preschool and school-age gymnastics, introducing elements of our Gem-Tastics curriculum while keeping the structure fun and age-appropriate.
Tigers work on “big kid” equipment, move through skill circuits at a faster pace, and continue to build strength, focus, and confidence—all with that same JAG energy they know and love.
