birthday parties are held in spacious, colorful gyms with 50 pieces of clean, fun, state of the art equipment. Classes benefit early learning/brain development, physical coordination/social skills, and self-esteem. Gymboree offers open gym times (free with enrollment), meet-up groups for new/expectant parents, and baby signs classes. Knowing that experts discourage gymnastics until age 6, Gymboree's drop-off programs for children 3-5 years in pre-gymnastics, art, yoga, music and a nationally recognized school readiness program in conjunction with Leapfrog, are overwhelmingly successful. Families remain enrolled for a long time, giving new enrollees an opportunity to meet the most connected families in their area. Gymboree offers multi-class discounts. Hurry, Gymboree classes fill quickly.
