Just My Size!

The Jungle Gym Preschool Development program at the Maine Academy of Gymnastics is a great way to introduce children to the fun and exciting world of gymnastics. Gymnastics will improve your child’s flexibility, strength, coordination, and agility while instilling a sense of self-confidence and accomplishment. And the best part: gymnastics is a fun way for children to be physically active while improving overall health and fitness!

All of the equipment in the Jungle provides a safe and friendly environment in which to introduce youngsters to the sport of gymnastics. Many choose to attend more than one class a week and discounts are available. All preschool classes are co-ed.
