Toddler Time

Our Toddler Time Programs have been designed to be age              
appropriate and to meet the needs of the children who participate.
These developmental programs will build strength as well as social
and physical confidence through classes that provide adequate structure, but also free time to use their imaginations.

Classes are held in the NEW state-of-the-art 3rd Floor “Jitterbug Gym” and Arts/Crafts Center which feature a fully padded gym area, climbing apparatus, play equipment, and great instructors for your tumbling and craft convenience!
