Trial sessions are available at the NDGA every Friday from 4:15 - 5:15 for all ages
Parent & Toddler
The Parent & Toddler sessions are strictly parent-accompanied, for toddlers who have mastered the art of walking!
This is an enjoyable activity enabling both parent and child to have fun together developing co-ordination, colour awareness, shapes and movement, supervised by a qualified gymnastic coach. This class benefits the child's fine motor skills, which in turn is good preparation for their induction into schooling.
