As a parent, you want your child to grow up strong, confident, and capable, and movement plays a big role in that journey. At BK’s Gymnastics, we see firsthand how gymnastics helps children develop essential motor skills that support their physical, emotional, and social development.
Whether your child is just learning to walk or already cartwheeling across the living room, our programs are designed to meet them where they’re at and help them build the skills they need to thrive.
Why Motor Skills Matter
Motor skills are the building blocks of movement. They help children run, jump, balance, and coordinate their bodies with confidence. These skills are divided into two categories:
- Gross motor skills: large movements like climbing, hopping, and balancing
- Fine motor skills: smaller actions like grasping, reaching, and hand-eye coordination
According to the Australian Government Department of Health, regular physical activity improves coordination, strength, and movement skills, while also supporting mental wellbeing, concentration, and self-esteem.
Gymnastics is one of the most effective ways to develop these skills in a fun, structured, and supportive environment.

The Bigger Picture
Gymnastics doesn’t just help your child move better, it helps them feel better. Children who participate in regular movement activities are more likely to sleep well, concentrate in school, and feel confident in their bodies.
At BK’s Gymnastics, we believe active kids are happy kids. Our programs are designed to help your child build strong foundations for life.
