Preschool Classes

Young athletes in a preschool class at VWEA

Why start early

Foundations for life, built through play

Starting young builds balance, body awareness, and the confidence to try new things. Our path grows with them—Wee Peas, then One and Two Peas with a parent on the floor, and on into our independent 3–5 class—so each visit matches their age, readiness, and the way they learn through play.

The three levels are outlined just below. When you are ready to enroll, pick the one that fits today; our front desk and coaches are always happy to help you choose.

In every class

What your child will work on

Balance & coordination

Jumping, rolling, and beam basics that develop motor skills and body control in a safe, coached environment.

Social & listening skills

Following directions, taking turns, and celebrating classmates — building confidence for school and sport.

Safe, spotter-led skills

Age-appropriate equipment and hands-on coaching so you can feel confident from day one.

Power, jumps & landings

Running, leaping, and controlled landings on soft surfaces—laying a foundation for strong, confident movement in every class.

Flexibility in motion

Stretching, reaching, and bending through games and simple routines so little bodies stay limber and open to the next new skill.

Creativity on the mat

Imaginative games and obstacle-style challenges that make skill work feel like play and keep your child looking forward to the next week.

A typical week

Rotating focus, same great coaching

Each class blends familiar warm-ups with new stations so kids stay engaged. One week we might spotlight jumping and landing; another, shapes and holds on low beam. The goal is steady progress without pressure.

What does “rotating focus” mean each week?

Coaches keep a consistent class structure (warm-up, stations, cool-down) while changing the emphasis week to week—so one visit might stress controlled landings and the next might highlight shapes and balance on low beam. That variety keeps kids curious without starting from scratch every time.

What happens during a typical class?

We open with warm-up games and music to get bodies and brains ready, then rotate through stations for bars, floor, and balance basics on scaled equipment. We close with a cool-down and positive shout-outs before dismissal.

Is every week completely different?

No—your child will recognize parts of each class, which builds confidence. Within that familiar rhythm, skills and stations shift so there is always something new to try, at a pace that fits preschoolers.

How do I find class times and locations?

Schedules vary by location. Use the locations section on our main site for addresses and hours, or ask at the front desk when you are ready to visit.

How do I enroll?

When you are ready, use the enroll button for your child’s class level, or talk with our front desk—they can help you pick the right level and get you set up.

VWEA has transformed not just my daughter's gymnastics — it's shaped her confidence, work ethic, and love of being part of a team. We couldn't imagine a better gym family.

The coaches at VWEA genuinely care about every single kid. My daughter started shy and timid — now she cheers in front of hundreds with total confidence. Worth every mile of the drive.

Four years in and we keep coming back. The structure, the discipline, the community — VWEA has given our son so much more than athletic skills. He's become a leader in everything he does.

We tried a few gyms in the area and nothing compared. The Ninja program is incredible — my son asks every single week if it's class day. The instructors make it challenging and fun at the same time.

Five years with VWEA across two kids and not a single regret. The multiple locations make scheduling so easy, and the coaches remember every child by name. It feels like home.

Started our 3-year-old in the preschool program and couldn't believe how quickly she opened up. Patient, encouraging coaches who know exactly how to work with the little ones. Highly recommend.
