Kindergym is a unique and enjoyable experience for babes, toddlers and preschoolers. It incorporates music programs, novel hand held props to maximise engagement and specialist Kindergym gymnastics on equipment specifically designed for young children. It’s an inclusive learning environment in which children feel safe, accepted and engaged with child-led, parent-assisted discovery.

Our program is holistic supporting development of the whole child: physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively, all in a safe, structured, multi sensory environment indoors. We pride ourselves on responding to individual child interests and abilities, with quality educators and small class sizes, making Kindergym a place you and your little one can’t wait to come back to.

We take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously from assisting with the development of Kindergym in Indonesia through to sourcing eco friendly consumable products, recycling, composting, always exploring alternate means of procuring an item (rather than just purchasing new) and cleaning our equipment and venue with child safe, biodegradable products. We role model ethical behavior, acting with due care and respect at all times.

We have been involved in the Kindergym community since it was first introduced to Victoria over 20 years ago. Our director Louise is a mother of two lovely girls and owner of Eleven Eleven Fitness, a boutique training studio in Carrum Downs. She’s been in the fitness industry for around 17 years and has owned her own studio for the last 5.

“I’ve worked in many areas of the fitness industry over those years and have experienced many things. I’m a fitness professional with a passion for making positive change in peoples lives, and providing a safe, friendly, non intimidating space for everyone to come together support and train. I’m helping create a generation of fit, strong healthy children and mums.”

Cuddlers and Crawlers: 6mths -Walking

We see babies as active learners too. Kindergym’s babies program actively stimulates and engages baby through sensory play, gentle movement and music. We aim to help you develop knowledge, confidence and new skills for interacting with your child (or children in your care) and whilst promoting attachment and bonding.

Little Explorers: Competent Walking-2/2.5yrs

Toddlers are given freedom to explore their surroundings. Our Little Explorers classes provide an environment that honors the child’s innate desire to explore and problem solve the world around them and in doing so developing the cognitive and physical skills they need to grow. This is achieved through clever structure of the environment and interactive, dynamic group times which bookend the program with music, actions and props.

Little Tumblers: 3 to 5 years

Look what I can do! Pre-schoolers like to have the freedom to explore and problem solve the world around them. These little people are also starting to engage in activities with other children. We provide a mixture of structured skill development tasks alongside explorative activities, and group times working with their carer and friends, to keep them challenged and engaged.
