Miss Libby’s Gymnastics -

Our philosophy for children is to teach them gymnastics in a fun, safe environment, and enrich their self-esteem.  We believe in a success-oriented program that achieves perpetual motion and shouts FUN.  With our curriculum based on gymnastics and fitness, we can teach the basic physical skills while stimulating little minds to crave more learning and movement. We feel each child can reach any goal if surrounded by positive influences and given the proper tools.  Our goal is to be one of those influences.  We will keep our student/teacher ratio low, to ensure effective instruction and security for each child.
Our program includes lessons on all gymnastics apparatus modified to the special needs of each student.

Our fully-equipped gym offers balance beam, bars, vault, spring board, Tumble Trac and the only regulation-sized gymnastics spring floor in Sumter.

We LOVE families and want all the kids to be able to attend their favorite classes at Miss Libby’s school of dance & Gymnastics.

This class brings the parents onto the floor amidst the excitement in this child directed program.  It’s primarily for fun and parental/child bonding.  Quality time for both is the key.  Music and movement exploration is a major part of the curriculum.  A small student/teacher ratio is kept for personal attention.  Hand/eye coordination and ball handling skills are developed along with small motor development.  It makes for a special time for the family.

Mighty Mites (45 minutes 3&4 yrs old)

The primary purpose of our Mighty Mites program is to develop eye-to-hand

utilizing various gymnastics apparatus including trampoline, balance
beams, bars, and a padded floor for tumbling skills.   These classes are designed to help children develop coordination, listening skills, and physical fitness through basic motor and gymnastics skills.  Children will be pleasantly challenged with obstacle courses and
games incorporating forward and backward rolls, the initial stages of handstands, balance beam walks, and trampoline work.  Upper body strength will also be tested while working on a bar built just for their size.  Specific activities will be geared for each age group. Preschoolers attend class according to age.

These children are now ready to refine and master basic gross motor skills such as running, jumping, hopping, skipping, throwing, kicking and catching.
