GymbaROO wasn’t just a place for kids to play, or even just to learn, it was what saved me as a mother. I didn’t feel helpless or alone anymore, or confused as to what to do as my child grew and changed, I had GymbaROO. As a single mother, it especially meant so much to me that the people there cared about what I learned and what I knew regarding how to be the best mum I could be. I did this on a single parent’s pension. I put this first. I will never be able to express my gratitude for what Mari-Ann and Mitcham GymbaROO did for me and for my son. It was simply the most important decision I ever made for the health, development and well-being of my child. GymbaROO should be in every state and country, a mandatory approach to bringing up children. We owe it to our children to give them the best start – and this is it. Thank you GymbaROO.

Amazing, amazing! GymbaROO was on the list from the time I was pregnant with our daughter. I love the program and love to share our experiences with her daddy when we come home. We feel so proud of her progress. She loves every moment in the group. The staff running the class are wonderful and very professional. It is such a positive experience, helping our daughter grow and develop to the best of her abilities.

My 18-month-old squeals with excitement when we arrive at GymbaROO. Nothing makes me happier than seeing him learning and enjoying himself. He is learning so much, so quickly. What a great program. Thank you!

My daughter has been attending Hawthorn GymbaROO since she was nine months old. She is now three years and eight months. If I’d known about GymbaROO sooner I would definitely have started her earlier! She LOVES GymbaROO! Some days it is all she talks about. She practices her GymbaROO at home nearly everyday too. It is quite obvious to me that GymbaROO has played a huge part in her cognitive, social, and physical development and I know this will help her immensely when she starts school. I can’t thank GymbaROO enough for giving my daughter the best start in life.

BabyROO is great fun for my baby girl, helping her development and social skills. She especially loves laughing on the trampoline with her friends! As a parent, the classes and the Active Babies Smart Kids BabyROO online series have taught me how to effectively encourage my daughter’s development and the value of learning through play!

We love GymbaROO – it is a great learning space for my son AND for myself! We learn something new every week! My little guy loves all the different play equipment – it provides a new challenge every time we go. The staff are just wonderful!!!

We’ve been attending GymbaROO since my son was born. He’s now 2 1/2 years old. We love how GymbaROO has given him so many preschool skills; including listening and responding during floor time, gross motor skills, word recognition and pronunciation, social skills and so much more! I can see the program being the perfect transition to the kindergarten and school programs. My daughter will be starting soon!

I love the structured classes that constantly extend and challenge my toddler, but in a fun and exciting way. GymbaROO has guided her through creeping and crawling, walking, running, climbing and now jumping and tumbling! I love that GymbaROO is safe yet exciting and that each milestone is explained to me relating to brain and body development. The fact that there are so many GymbaROO centres is wonderful! When we moved from city to country, we could happily continue: – Moonee Valley showed us the foundations and now Albury/Wodonga is sharing games and activities we can easily repeat at home to build on the new found skills.

Our son absolutely loves going to GymbaROO. It’s his second term and his confidence has built right up! He loves climbing, jumping, the sensory play that is provided each week and socialising with other children his age. The teachers are awesome. We also love the extra programs during school holidays. Our daughter is just about to start BabyROO. She will be six weeks old.

We have been attending GymbaROO since my son was four months old. The weekly programs are engaging and the structure of each session has seen my son, now two, develop great independence and confidence when participating. I am fortunate to have the added bonus of making life long friendships with other mums at GymbaROO.

My son and daughter both currently attend KindyROO. My son has attended since the age of four months and he is now in third term of School Readiness! Both my children LOVE the KindyROO program and look forward to attending their class each week. The teachers are just wonderful and the program itself has been such a benefit to my children’s learning and development over the years. I would absolutely recommend this program to any families with young children. We are currently expecting baby number three and there is no doubt he or she will be a KindyROO kid too.

My baby, husband and I love BabyROO. My son has grown in confidence and it’s amazing seeing the development in his gross and fine motor skills. Most of all we love the information we take home each week. As first parents, we have found the information so relevant and useful and it’s the perfect amount to retain! Plus, we are able to repeat the songs and activities we learn each week at home, expanding our rather limited repertoire!

My six-month-old daughter, who is always wanting to be part of any action and activity, absolutely loves GymbaROO. It gives her a chance to socialise with other babies and develop her motor skills. She loves the songs and activities and is often the child who everyone is laughing at (or laughing with), as a result of her infectious laughter, constantly brought about by her enjoyment of what is happening at GymbaROO!

We love something new each week! GymbaROO has so much to offer. This week my three-year-old daughter’s favourite things to do were hang on the trapeze and Treasure Bag time. She always loves to pick a colour spot and sit on the mat to watch our amazing teacher Jo at the Rouse Hill centre. I know next week will be something new and can’t wait to discover our next favourite thing!

GymbaROO brought life back into playtime! I needed a little inspiration with age appropriate games to play with my daughter. Now we learn an array of activities each week and we teach daddy all the new activities too!

We started BabyROO this term with my daughter aged four months old. From the moment we walked into the room, I knew the GymbaROO was going to provide the stimulation and the development my baby needs, but most importantly give me the skills to continue the activities at home. I have loved bonding with my daughter within the home environment, but going to my weekly sessions of BabyROO has just given me more of an opportunity to ‘switch off’ from everyday tasks and focus on my little one’s development.

My son has become such a happy, confident, independent, well-spoken child. His child care has made comments about how advanced both his language and gross motor skills are. I truly believe this is due to KindyROO. Rachael – Mt Gravatt KindyROO

GymbaROO is the most amazing and beneficial activity you can do with your children of all ages… I know, I have taken all of my six grandchildren to Mission Bay GymbaROO. They truly work on actual developmental progress and social skills. Carey

I love that my son is able to challenge himself in a safe environment at GymbaROO. He first started going when I returned to work, as I wanted to arrange an activity for him to do with his grandparents whilst they looked after him. Not only do I see the confidence and coordination my son gains from attending, but also the confidence and joy it gives my mum in witnessing and assisting our active little man learn and grow. I hear how wonderful David (teacher) is in both encouraging my son and supporting my mum. I also enjoy the weekly themes and word/picture books, as even though I do not get to take part in the class, I stay engaged with my son’s learning and am kept part of the GymbaROO experience.

What my super active 15-month-old son and I love most about GymbaROO, is all the wonderful learning, development, confidence building and the social participation.
I see his growth with GymbaROO each week as we learn together. We love the classes – they are really fun, very enjoyable and, along with the Active Babies Smart Kids video series, have been an important and consistent part of his life from three months old!

We love our BabyROO sessions with our daughter. When she was younger she disliked being on her tummy, so it was great to help her to develop a love of tummy time on the scooterboards, balls and rollers. The Active Babies Smart Kids online BabyROO series is wonderful for my husband to do at home, as he is at work when we go to GymbaROO.
