Creating Memories and Building Skills Together

Parent and Me classes are a parent participation class introducing babies and toddlers to the world of movement and exercise. Children learn to explore their capabilities and limits while in the safety of the gym. Very basic gymnastics skills will be presented, but the major focus of the class is on motor skill and social development. This class is often a child’s first exposure to a structured class setting – so the real learning comes in understanding and following directions, taking turns and sharing.

At DeVeau’s, we believe every moment spent with your child is precious. This class allows you to experience those moments while helping your toddler develop coordination, balance, and motor skills in a fun and supportive environment.

  • Age Group: 1 month to 2.5 years

Your role in Parent & Me is to assist your child with activities and skills taught by your instructor. Try to let your child do as much as possible — you’ll be surprised at what they can accomplish! To build self-esteem, praise your child for a job well done (or even for a good try) with hugs, high fives, etc. Please stay with your child at all times. Your instructor will teach spotting techniques in class, so you will have an important role in keeping your child safe.

Each session your child will learn new themes (Backwards, Upside Down, Climbing, etc.) in class. If your child does not want to participate in the class activity at some point (it happens to everyone), let your child explore what they are interested in. Try to find a “teachable moment” if possible, and eventually your child will want to rejoin the group. Be sure to stay with the group as much as possible in the main gym (downstairs) for safety’s sake.
