I've already checked into The Little Gym and I'm wondering if someone knows of a place where you don't have to pay a membership fee and pay too much for classes. I want to get my daughter into some activity group like gymnastics and she'll be 2 in Jan. Thanks!!
We go to ASI gymnastics (my sons are 2 and 4). It is $50 each a month, month to month. There was a yearly registration fee, but I can't recall how much it was.
Try your local library. Most have storytime for ages beginning at 18 months. Also, look into recreation centers. You don't have to live in the city where it is to attend. The price will be slightly higher though, but less than $5 in my experience. I've looked high and low for free/low cost classes for my two boys and the rec centers and libraries stand out above the rest. Many churches have indoor play areas that are free or minimal. You don't have to be a member either. Grapevine has a great one called Paradise Pond and it's $1 per person. Just google it. Good luck.
Hi K..
I know some gyms around me (in Arlington/Mansfield) will have open gym time, where you just pay a fee when you go. It's not instructional time, but rather the kids just play and jump around.
Also, in Mansfield, the MAC (mansfield athletic center) has a toddler time twice a week, T-TH I think, and it's free but you have to be a member which is only $25 a year. That's pretty reasonable.
Also a good friend of mine does stroller strides here in Arlington. It's a fitness program for moms and their kids, plus we have a play group connected to it too. Email me if you'd like more info.
K., I do not know where you live, but if you live in the Plano area, check out The University of Gymnastics. They are located near E. Plano Parkway on Summit. They have a preschool program. I am not sure how young that they start, but their prices are very good. They have a website www.universityofgymnastics.com
