When it comes to early childhood development, GymbaROO has been a pioneer in combining research and fun activities to transform the lives of babies, children and their families across Australia. GymbaROO has spent over four decades and continues to provide quality neuro-developmental programs. 

What sets GymbaROO Apart?

GymbaROO isn’t just another playgroup. It’s the only parent-child program that offers fully integrated, neuro-developmental classes designed to support brain growth during the most critical years of life – birth to five years of age.  

Each GymbaROO session is built on the latest  neuroscience, ensuring that every movement, song, game and activity is carefully selected to stimulate parts of the brain needed for learning, emotional regulation, physical coordination and social success. It’s fun with purpose.

Backed by Science and Built on Experience

Decades of experience combined with neurodevelopmental research confirm what GymbaROO families have known for years: the right movement exercises in early childhood lay the groundwork for academic, emotional and physical success.

Research now shows that early movement isn’t just about exercise – it actually builds the brain. Activities like crawling, climbing, balancing and rhythm-based play stimulate essential neurological pathways that directly impact how well children learn and behave at school.

In fact, studies show that movement-based programs like GymbaROO are vital to improving memory, attention, confidence and communication in young children, especially as they prepare for higher learning. 

GymbaROO places sensory-motor activities at the centre of its classes. Every GymbaROO session is a guided, purposeful experience where children engage in climbing, swinging, balancing and other targeted exercises all designed to enhance their brain-body connection. 

Empowering Parents at First Teachers

One of GymbaROO’s most powerful elements is the involvement of parents. At every session, parents are educated alongside their children. 

Through hands-on participation and clear developmental insights from the GymbaROO experts, parents gain the tools and understanding needed to support their child’s development at home. 

This parent-child education model is especially valuable in the early years when the brain is most adaptable. With take-home resources and personalised developmental guidance, GymbaROO gives families the confidence to continue building brain connections beyond the classes. 

Results that Speak for Themselves

GymbaROO has been a part of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australian families. And the impact? Clear, measurable and long-lasting.

Children who attend GymbaROO often arrive at school with better motor coordination, stronger emotional self-regulation, improved concentration, and greater confidence compared to their peers.

Many of these children not only thrive academically but go on to become school leaders, high achievers, and elite athletes. As one parent put it, “GymbaROO – simply the best decision I ever made for my child.” 

Rather than leaving motor skill development to chance, GymbaROO ensures every child participates in movement patterns designed to prepare them for reading, writing, concentration, and emotional regulation – all essential for school success.
