TTMA Gymboree

[belle0720]

I've been thinking about signing G up for Gymboree classes too but haven't yet.

If I remember correctly, one of the mom's in our story time group told me that she was taking her little guy to unlimited classes for like $80/month until he turned one. She stopped because the classes stopped being unlimited and per class it was pretty expensive.

We dont have Gymboree here, we have Little Gym but its the same type of thing. We took both kids starting at 4 months so definitely not mobile. IMO they still enjoyed the songs, balls and bubbles and there are bars for them to hold on to and stand, different mats to stand up on and we practice flips and different upside down activities (good for the vestibular system).

We pay $60/ month for one scheduled class and one free time class( ages 3 and under go and run around). We have loved it and made some good Mom friends that way

We went one weekend to check it out and there was only one other little girl in the class. We're hoping to go to the weekday one to see if there are a few more kids because DD doesn't really see many other babies her age. She did have a lot of fun though with the songs, bubbles, and activities. Here it's $68/month for one class per week and all/any open gym times.

ETA- DD isn't mobile yet, but had a great time l.

We LOVE Gymboree. It's $22 for the first month and then $80 for the next two with a three month commitment here. All unlimited, so right now I could do two play and learn level 2 classes a week (tues and sat) and all of the open gym times I want.

LO loves the other babies and she's really increased her physical strength since going there. Seriously, the smiles and laughs on her face make it so worth it.

That being said, I'm not renewing when it's up. We'll be running into summer then and I'd rather be outside.

We loved it. I'm so sad the just closed the one close to me and the other one is too far for me to drive right now.

It's great for non mobile babies because a lot of the activities can be done for non mobile and a lot of things can help to get babies to start moving!

When we first started in level 1 Jules couldn't lift her head and they really helped with ideas on how to get her to do so.

I'd like to take DD next weekend for a "trial" class...I think she'll have fun hanging with other kids and getting to practice pulling up and all the jaz. If we like it I'll definitely sign her up for the monthly:)

Aaaaaaaand they give you 20% off coupons for Gymboree (the clothing), children's place, and Janie and Jack. That may influence my decision;)

I looked into Gymboree today but there isn't one near me. Thanks for listing other places to check!

O is doing Kindermusik classes at a local church. It is about $100/10 week session. He's going with my mom and she says he loves it. I'm hoping to find other things for them to do.

We do swim lessons every Saturday at our park district every Saturday and I think it was $50 for a 6w session?
My grandma also takes her to "Wiggly Gigglers" at the library. It's a free call where they do baby yoga, massage, free play, and random/beginner sign language. I like that she gets to interact with other kids since it's just her during the day:)

I want to sign up for Gymboree, but half the time the baby sleeps during that time. Probably is, his nap schedule always fluctuates. How do you manage with them when they're this little and classes?
