Gymnastics - Preschool, Youth And Team
At the Andover/North Andover Branch we offer gymnastics classes for children ages 13 months through kindergarten. For the youngest, classes include parents. Beginning at age 3, we start classes just for children. Classes are led by qualified instructors, directing activites on equipment such as ladders, tunnels, balance beams, bars, slides and more.
Parent/Child Gym Classes (ages 13-22 months)
