Free Infant Class (0 - 6 months) 30 MINUTES - Free (0 to 6 months) This free introductory class geared towards new parents introduces babies to new stimuli including sounds and movements through the usage of music, bells, hoops and vivid colors. This class is instrumental in helping new parents develop a sense of community and gain early insight into the development and needs of their babies. Attendees learn how communication, even at this early stage, can shape a baby's world. *We offer a free trial to babies aging out of the class to the class up Start Out Small (6 to 10 months). * After 6 months, there is a $10 drop in fee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/52c49be9-3672-4c0e-aecf-96e2f13eaef3/IMG_4284.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Start Out Small (6 months - walking) 30 MINUTES Designed to introduce babies to different sounds and movements, we create an environment that helps them to become comfortable with different faces and voices. Little ones engage in activities to help them build a tolerance to sounds and changes, which also lends to better sleeping. Activities are incorporated to help stimulate the muscles used for crawling and walking. Music, bells, hoops, and vivid colors are also used to stimulate these babies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/9f8a4e5f-292c-4a2a-a1b4-434151f65c74/IMG_4027.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Tots - A - Lot (10 - 17 months) 45 MINUTES Activities in this class have a broader focus on coordination and balance to develop movement and motor skills. Listening for instruction takes on a greater role, and classes follow a regular structure, encouraging children to anticipate the routine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/1ef1db03-f177-444c-ba18-6db85ef27a3a/IMG_2362.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Super-Tots (18 - 24 months) 45 MINUTES Class activities encourage children to peer outside of their own environment as they begin socializing through parallel play. Simultaneously, a child's independence begins building as confidence and self-awareness grow through special "by myself" activities without the intervention of grown ups. Activities at this age are focused on developing early cognitive development. Children are introduced to basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam, swing bar and other apparatuses. All activities are explored through creative games like taking pretend trips to the zoo, riding an NYC bus, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/1c57fbd6-d88f-4e8b-b87b-183f1110ff7c/IMG_8675.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Tumbling Twos (24 - 36 months) 45 MINUTES Children are introduced to the concept of separation as a part of their lives as adults are encouraged to watch activities from the sidelines of class. While enjoying the fun activities introduced in the earlier classes, we teach children patience as they wait to take turns and using listening ears to foster socialization. We continue to foster independence, building confidence and self-awareness through special "kids only" activities, while teaching gymnastics skills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/d12e4f4c-6a29-439c-8af4-04db3938b179/IMG_6307.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Transitional Twos (2.5 - 3.5yrs) 45 MINUTES The concept of separation, taking turns and listening continues to be a focus as we work on improving a child's ability to take directions from their teachers. Activities include developing basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam and swing bar, executing leaps and tumbles and participating in guided dance parties. As always, children receive positive feedback on their accomplishments so that they leave class with a sense of pride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/9aa10614-0a4e-499f-89f3-953bb0f526e3/IMG_8677.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Beginner Tumbling (3 - 5 years) 45 MINUTES Children's activities continue to foster independent work, introduce separation and teach children to set behavioral limits for themselves, while instilling pride in their accomplishments. Children are encouraged to take audio direction rather than visually mimicking activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/543c8445-b62d-41de-990e-94c18cbca151/IMG_8679.jpg Gymnastics and Ninja - Girls/Boys Advanced Gymnastics (5 years +) This class is for those athletes who have previous gymnastics experience*.

As a child psychologist and former gymnast, Elliott designed Elliott's Classes to optimize learning through movement science to enrich all aspects of a child's life. This unique approach has been coined, "The Elliott Method". According to Elliott, "I like to see the world through childrens' eyes and speak to them as if they are my equals." Elliott provides every child with individualized attention and believes addressing a child's special needs at an early stage is critical in enhancing their development. Elliott found his passion for gymnastics at a young age and began competing professionally at the age of 7. Following his retirement from professional competition, he joined the world renowned Bela Karolyi Training Center in 1985 as a trainer certified by the United States Gymnastics Federation. In 1987, Elliott earned his Ph.D. in child psychology from Texas A&M, after which he formed his own practice. As part of treatment, Elliott often advised patients to enroll in gymnastics to build social and behavioral skills. He put his technique into practice by developing a National Gymnastic Training Program for high risk children at the YMCA and elementary public schools in Houston, Texas. This program ultimately formed the basis for "The Elliott Method". Ultimately, these children showed improvement in their overall school performance and behavioral problems were minimized. Following the success of this program, Elliott began leading classes at several children's gymnastics centers in New York City. The response to his programming was overwhelming and compelled him to open Elliott's Gymnastics Center. Today, Elliott's Classes has evolved into a center with a full range of children's programming with the goal of making a positive impact on as many children as possible. Elliott's Classes have earned recognition from many early childhood specialists including physicians who recommend parents with at-risk children as young as 8 weeks to enroll in Elliott's Classes. Elliott's work has brought him significant recognition for early childcare services: Elliott's Classes Named Among "Best Gyms for Kids in NY" by CBS News in 2012 1999 New Yorker of the Week by NY1 in recognition for "working to do what is right and good for our children and our future" 1999 Hero of the Year award by Big Apple Parents Guide, recognized for "good deeds in helping others and improving the quality of life in NYC" Appearances in several "Sesame Street" videos including "Elmocize" and "Count on Sports" 1995 release of "Elliott's Gym for Kids" video, bringing exercise to children in their homes 2012, 2013, 2016 Red Tricycle's Best Kids' Sports Classes in New York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/1694822623962-E3WYA1H94MDG9XKTSA7V/IMG_0885.JPG Founder - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b6e862b7411c6d021c676d/1635886338674-JNPZB0KH157Y3RU1XYRM/Infant+Class.jpg Founder - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
