Preschool Program
U.G.I.’s Preschool Program is specially
designed for children 12 mos. to 5 yrs. old.
Through innovative, challenging lessons,
our Preschool Program strives to develop
and fine-tune many essential qualities in
each child. Grouped by age, the
preschoolers participate and learn in an
atmosphere that enables every child to be
successful, thus increasing each child’s
level of self-esteem. This positive desire to
achieve carries over in his/her daily
encounters outside the Universal school.
Parent -Tot Classes
SHOOTING STAR
This is a play group style class for young movers –
children who are walking and ready to explore
their environment. Parents are active participants
in class, which is supported by a trained instructor.
Class begins with basic music/movement exercises,
followed by free exploration of the gymnastics
environment.
SUPER STAR
The SuperStars class is a structured class for
toddlers. Class begins with music/movement
exercises and basic stretching to introduce core
gymnastics positions. Children learn new skills,
and continue to develop their gross motor skills,
while moving through a variety of stations on the
gymnastics equipment. Parents are active helpers
in this class, encouraging and assisting their child
through stations and circuits. Instructors provide
parents with safe and supportive strategies to
engage with their children as they improve
strength, coordination, and balance.
Independant Classes:
NOVA
This is the first class where a parent may or may
not be present based on their child’s readiness to
go solo. Our instructors continue to teach and
reinforce preschool readiness skills, like circle time,
sharing, taking turns, listening, and following
directions, as well as reading and writing readiness,
colors, numbers, and shapes. Our preschool
classes help children develop their gross and fine
motor skills, increasing strength, flexibility,
coordination, balance, body awareness/control,
and self-confidence.
METEOR
Meteors is a 40 minute class for all 4 year olds.
Each class begins with movement and stretching
exercises. Next, instructors lead children through
a set of circuits to teach gymnastics skills and
positions. The circuits also help children improve
their gross motor skills and increase their body
awareness and control. Instructors also reinforce
concepts like listening, taking turns, following
directions, and encourage positive social
interactions among peers.
COMET
Comets is a 60 minute class for all 5 year olds.
This class begins and ends in our Gym*Stars gym.
Instructors use circuits to teach developmentally
appropriate gymnastics skills. Children learn more
gymnastics terminology and work to refine and
improve their skills. They continue to build
confidence and independence, which will prepare
them for the transition into the main gym at age 6.
