Do you have a child who needs help to fully participate in activites?
At Kids First we realize that every child is a kid first. But, they are each on their own person. They all grow and develop differently. Mergers is for children who need extra attention to succeed at first. It is for building their abilities to be able to be independent in the future.

Every child needs someone who believes in them and a safe place to be active. Gymnastics is the best way I know how to accomplish this for every child, and Kid First is a great place to do it.
My teaching philosophy is to give every child something new to walk away with. Whether it’s more confidence, a friend, a handstand, or just a happier outlook than when they walked through the Gym Jam doors.
Watch our coaches and our gymnasts in the gym, learning, growing and having fun. Also hear from our parents as they watch their boys develop through the Gym Jam program at Kids First.
