About

Kindergym is a movement based program designed specifically for children 5 years and under and their caregiver.

​The program promotes the development of the whole child – socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically, in a safe, structured, multi-sensory environment.

Program Structure

​Kindergym sessions are run by a Gymnastics SA accredited Kindergym Leader. Sessions consist of group time at the beginning of the session to do warm up exercises and a few songs. The children are then free to move off for 25 minutes of free time to explore the equipment with their parent or carer assisting them.

​Children are then called back together for group time and a cool down with a series of exercises, songs and socialisation activities. The children then get a stamp and move off from the class.
​Sessions last for 45 minutes and include:
Warm up
Free Exploration
Guided Discovery
Group Time and Parachute
Cool Down

Parent Involvement

Parents/caregivers are responsible for the supervision and safety of their own child during Kindergym sessions. We want parents to join in with their children, share the fun and celebrate their achievements. 
We ask that all parents and caregivers do the following during Kindergym sessions:

• ​Provide encouragement and positive reinforcement for the child, through play.
• Observe the child while at play.
• Reinforce the healthy lifestyle messages provided at Kindergym.
• Reinforce the values to the child of an active lifestyle.
• Be actively involved to provide the child with a positive life long attitude towards physical activity.
• Have fun!
