Wednesday Morning Play Gym

Play Gym Philosophy:
We believe in playing with our kids and positive parenting! We always try to say    everything in a positive manner. We say "Please walk" rather than "Don't Run!" and ask children to "show me that you can do that". We try to catch children being good and then praise, praise, praise them rather than catch them disobeying and punishing them. Kids crave our attention and praise, so if someone else is getting praise, they will do amazing things to get it too! :) We do use time outs as a last resort and for safety's sake but they usually aren't necessary. No one's perfect so we are quick to admit it and apologize when we mess up.

What exactly is Play Gym?...
Wednesday Morning Play Gym is a fun-filled structured play group where your 1-5 year old can bond with you and other kids through:

  • Singing Songs
  • Story Time
  • Fun Games like parachute, bouncer or balls
  • Even a few field trips and parties!
  • Much much more!!

What will my child and I get out of Play Gym?...
Play Gym is something for your child to look forward to that fits well into your busy life! Join us mid-week and "get the wiggles out"! You'll get a chance to talk to and meet other parents and play in a new and different environment with your child.

How much time will Play Gym take up?...
Play Gym meets Wednesday mornings from 9:30am-10:30am. Classes are in 6 or 7 week segments so you only have to commit short term. See our current schedule below.

How do I register for Play Gym?...
Registering is easy! The cost is just $10 for your FIRST session and only $5 for each addition session. Call the church office at 649-2343, Monday through Friday to sign up. If you have questions, contact .
