Preschool Gymnastics

TUMBLE BEES℠

6 weeks - 6 year olds

Since 1975 Tumble Bees℠ has been the premier preschool gymnastics program in the Greater Cincinnati area! Thousands of families will attest that their Tumble Bee℠ education has developed “happy, healthy, responsible children” into two generations of “happy, healthy, responsible adults”!

Tumble Bees℠ is so much more than a gymnastics program for preschoolers. Our emphasis is not on being the fastest, the strongest or the best. Instead, it is on the excitement of learning. We believe that every child wants to learn, and when we find that delicate balance between learning and play, children are inspired! With just the right amount of success and challenge, your child will discover that hard work is rewarding and that learning is fun.
