Gymnastics & Tumbling
Tumble Bees Early Childhood Gymnastics
Enrolling your child in our Tumble Bees Early Childhood Gymnastics program is a wonderful way to expose participants to balance and movement activities. Your child will learn movement skills, coordination, and self-confidence in a positive atmosphere.
Our staff has years of experience with children. Each week Tumble Bees will practice skills and learn new progressions in creative
formats that make learning fun. To assist in creating a positive instructional environment, classes have a three-week policy in
which, if your child is not enrolled in the proper class, he or she will be placed in the appropriate class. Children should enroll in
classes based on the age they will be when the session starts.
The Joliet Park District has an observation area available for the Gymnastics and Tumbling programs. Please be respectful to all
classes in session when in the observation area.
Tumble Bees Attire
Appropriate attire includes leotards, shorts, sweats, t-shirts, and non-skid socks or bare feet.
Please do not wear jeans, belts or jewelry. Hair should be pulled back.
Children’s Nursery
Only one parent/guardian with participant are allowed in classes. Please utilize the children’s nursery
for all other siblings. The nursery is available at the Presence Inwood Athletic Club, located adjacent
to the Multi-Purpose Center. Call 815-741-7275 ext. 122 for details.
Joliet Park District Program Philosophy
Every participant can have fun learning developmentally
appropriate movement in a safe environment that
promotes positive self-esteem.
A Gentle Reminder
Your promptness in picking up your child after
class is greatly appreciated. A few minutes without
mom or dad after everyone else has left can
be frightening to small children.
Wear your Tumble
Bees t-shirt to class
each week! Purchase
yours at the MPC
front desk!
You may purchase
leotards in the
gymnastics room!
