Summer is right around the corner, and that means one of our most joyful youth programs is back! The Ashland Family YMCA Preschool Gymnastics Program is the perfect way for little ones to move, explore, build new skills, and gain confidence—all in a safe, playful, and encouraging environment.
Designed specifically for ages 24 months through 4 years, these summer gymnastics classes give preschoolers the opportunity to build strength, coordination, balance, and body awareness through fun, skill-based activities. But the benefits don’t stop there—YMCA gymnastics is also a great way for preschoolers to build friendships, practice social skills, and feel supported as they grow.
This year’s summer lineup includes three developmentally appropriate class levels:
Gym Explorers (Coed, 24–36 months)
Perfect for our youngest movers! In this parent-participation class, adults join their children on the floor for guided gymnastics activities. Together, you’ll help your child explore basic movement patterns, climb, balance, and practice simple skills. The second half of the class includes open play on the equipment—always a favorite!
Parent participation required.
Tumble Tots (Coed, Age 3)
Tumble Tots is a fun-filled introduction to gymnastics and beginner equipment. Children will learn how to move safely, follow simple directions, and explore tumbling basics—all with an emphasis on fun, imagination, and play.
Kindergym (Coed, Age 4)
Designed for older preschoolers, Kindergym focuses on tumbling, motor development, and age-appropriate gymnastics skills. Kids will practice coordination, balance, and beginner techniques as they build confidence and independence on the equipment.
Why YMCA Gymnastics?
