Hi just wondering about Gymboree Classes?

MNJ2007

Hi everyone!!! I have a six month old son and would love to start gymboree classes. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which location is good or even how much they cost? 

Thanks

Not really sure how much they cost, but I've heard they are a bit pricey.  I usually see coupons for $ off classes in Parents and/or Parenting mags.  Check out the link below - there's info on the classes they offer and there's a link to a free class pass.  I've been wanting to look into this too, so your post was a good reminder.  Try posting on the SoFla Bump board as well - you might get more responses from the ladies there although most frequest this board too.  GL!

They start their pricing at around $75 dollars, but if you go in for a free lesson and sign up the day you go in, they waive all of the initial start up fees.  After 3 months, they lower the price by 5% and then 3 months after that, another 5, etc.. until about a year, you're down to paying around $63 a month.   6 months is a good age for gymboree students.  tehy're sitting up and wanting to be more active, but they still need a lot of 1 on 1 with their parents.  This would be a level 2 class that htey would be in.  Level 3 isn't that much fun, since they just want to crawl around and not pay attention to anyone.  Level 3 is when they're starting to become mobile and cruising.  Level 2 is great b/c they honestly learn a lot quicker from other kids in their class- they learn how to scoot, crawl, pick up stuff, etc... from watching others.  I'd say do it if you want to stick it out for the long run, Level 4 and 5s are great because they actually participate!

 

(btw, i had my dd in gymboree until level 3 and i'm an ex-gymboree teacher :-D)

We've been going since DS was 4 1/2 mos old. He is now in level 3 and we pay $60/mo. Its totally worth it. DS has so much fun (as well as the adults). We also like it b/c alot of the songs they sing there we sing at home and DS loves to hear them. It helps us understand what kind of play is appropriate for his age and how we can incorporate what we do at gymboree at home. Level 3 is a bit wild b/c there are kids walking all over the place but the teachers are very good in getting everybody's attention. We go to the Kendall location.
