Dyno-Tykes

Looking for a fun, affordable, stress-free toddler activity? Dyno-Tykes lets you bring in your child for some gymnastics time. Think of it as a playground but better! With no weather to contend with, a bathroom steps away, and a water cooler on hand, Empire is the perfect place for kids to exert all that energy... and give mom and dad some social time too!

This program is designed for children 2 to 3 years of age and is very beneficial for early development leading into our Preschool Recreational Program. Many two to three year-olds are very active but are not quite ready for a typical preschool class due to class time and format for class instruction. This class will enable them to burn off that energy with a simple class circuit and soft environment meaning fewer bumps and bruises while toddlers are in that clumsy phase! The class is thirty minutes long.

Our coaching staff are trained to instruct children of all ages and will focus their attention on teaching your child basic gymnastics skills and working on balance and coordination. A parent or guardian must remain on site while their child is participating in class. You are welcome to bring juice or snacks for a break in our waiting room.

Please check out our gym rules & policies information. We ask that you show up on time since the class is only a half hour long. Thank you for your interest in Dyno-Tykes!

 Preschool

Preschoolers love gymnastics because it's fun--parents love gymnastics because of the enriching experience!  At Empire Gymnastics, your child will get that much-needed opportunity to exert all that energy.  But the benefits extend far beyond gymnastics skills. The class is forty-five minutes long.

Gymnastics activities will noticeably improve gross-motor coordination. Gymnastics class is often a child's first exposure to "school," making social skills another valuable lesson.  Preschoolers who are already learning to follow directions, pay attention, and take turns will be well-prepared when it's time for kindergarten! 

Class begins with a warm a warmup period in which the children learn gymnastic stretches and positions through creative movement. From there, class moves on to the circuit of small-scale gymnastics equipment. The circuit consists of low balance beams, small trampoline, a small bar, and mats of all shapes, colors, and sizes for jumping, rolling, and climbing.  The circuit is slightly different every time to allow for the intro-duction of new skills.

The class will often use the tumble-track (a long, low trampoline) to learn jumps. They'll also walk on the high beam with assistance.  The last few minutes of class may be a toy time with our twirling ribbons, balls, hoops, and ropes.
