PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES
Tumble Tot Express Bus -
Fun, exciting, safe, mobile gymnastics for preschoolers and children in kindergarten (typically ages 2 1/2 to 6). Tumble-Tot Express visits a variety of home school preschools each week. An enriching fitness class that comes directly to the students for a half hour session once a week. Tumble-tot kids absolutely love the program and their parents do too! There are 7-week sessions throughout the year – each with a different themed curriculum and each with goals and certificates of completion at the end of each session.
The program is great for developing balance, coordination, teamwork, physical fitness, a sense of accomplishment and, of course, it’s FUN since there are over 100 pieces of gymnastics apparatus on the bus including a trampoline, climbing ladder, trapeze and rings! It’s a great program. And best of all, there’s no setup required. All of the fun takes place right on the bus. Email: tumble@TumbleTotExpress.com Phone: 949/362-0111
