Looking for activities to support your child’s motor skill development? Little Stars is BK’s Gymnastics’ foundational program for children from walking age to five years.
Little Stars classes are parent-assisted and designed to nurture early movement skills, balance, and coordination in a playful and supportive setting. Parents actively participate, helping their child feel secure while exploring new physical challenges.
Each session is structured to promote social interaction, sensory development, and confidence. Activities are age-appropriate and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on fun and engagement. Children explore movement through games, obstacle courses, and basic gymnastics shapes, all under the guidance of qualified coaches.
We have a range of tailored programs based on children’s ages:
- Stepping Stars (walking to 2-years) – Foundation program to develop basic movement through creative play. From walking to the age of two, this parent assisted group is a foundation program that develops basic movement through a creative childhood teaching approach, engaging gymnasts in both structured and non-structured learning.
- Mini Stars (2 and 3 years) – Our parent assisted 2 & 3 year old gymnasts begin to focus on basic gymnastics skills, aiming to develop a greater understanding of the body. It teaches essentials such as safe landing techniques, rotation, balance and dominant movement patterns in a themed class structure that’s helps to stimulate learning. (Parent assisted)
- Kinder Stars (4 to 5 years) – Independent learning focus on school readiness through physical and mental development . Our 4+ preschool aged gymnasts begin the transition into an independent learning class that focuses on school readiness through both physical and mental development. Not only will these gymnasts learn more advanced movements such as handstands and cartwheels they will also further develop their listening and social skills and build confidence along the way!
