Program Information

KinderGym Puddle Jumpers (KG1)- LTAD 1

Each level of Ortona’s WOW programs is age specific, which allows children to get the most out of the program. In Ortona’s World of Wonderment, children grow and develop through fun activities, games and gymnastics exercises. You’ll be amazed at how much fun can be had here at Ortona.

Puddle Jumpers is a structured, un-parented 45-minute program for children 3 years of age. This program incorporates things like music, gymnastics circuits and games to educate these young athletes and develop their minds and bodies. This is the first un-parented level in our WOW program.

The program is taught in our unique, colourful, and kid-friendly preschool gym. This educational environment is filled with chances for discovery, growth and learning, and all the equipment is toddler-sized.

What 3-year-old could resist? Children are introduced to the fundamentals of gymnastics (swings, springs, rotations, locomotion, statics and landing) and develop coordination, listening skills and build independence.

These young athletes receive a report card at the end of each session and a ribbon upon completion of the level to show them how far they have progressed.

Children must be potty trained and able to return to class to participate.

Leapah’s World of Wonderment KinderGym 1

Gymnastics is an ideal activity for preschoolers. It is an excellent physical way to develop gross motor skills, spatial awareness, coordination, strength, power, flexibility, musical awareness and creativity. Gymnastics is also a fun-filled, non-contact activity through which children can develop self-confidence, experience a wide variety of challenges and opportunity for social interaction.

Gymnastics helps develop physical literacy in children. The development of these physical tools are needed to take part in activity and sport, both for healthy life-long enjoyment and for sporting success. You’re never too young to gain something positive from the sport of gymnastics.
