Class benefits

Backed by neuroscience and loved by families, Baby ROO / GymbaROO is a fun, sensory-motor based program that uses movement to build brain foundations essential for children’s learning and development.

Our classes help babies and children work and develop the skills needed to reach their full potential at each stage of development.

Classes start from birth all the way to 5 years (start of school).

Gaining strength, coordination, learning essential skills such as balance or jumping and working on the inhibition of primitive reflexes are some of the many benefits GymbaROO children gain.

Pricing

$260 for a 10 week term. Fees are pro-rata, so you’ll pay what weeks are left of the term when you join.

We also offer trial classes. 3 consecutive weeks for $91.50

"As a first time mum, I highly recommend GymbaROO Newcastle if you’re looking for ideas on how to positively interact with your baby/toddler. Ana and her team make you feel so welcome, and create such a positive atmosphere for all. I have learnt so many exercises/songs to encourage my 10 month old daughter to move and meet her developmental milestones. Thank you to Ana and her team!"

"Gymbaroo Newcastle is the highlight of my 2 year old daughter's week. She loves all the equipment but equally enjoys engaging with the mat time movement, dancing and music. Ana has a lovely warm manner with all the children and guides the parents to lead their children by clearly explaining developmental stages and how to best support the children as they learn and explore. Definitely recommend!"

-Bec

"GymbaROO Newcastle is a lively, welcoming space which my almost 2 year old son has loved coming to since he was 3 months old. Ana and Amanda provide such creative activities and information that we can implement at home. GymbaROO is a highlight in our week!"

-Greta

"My 18 month old has absolutely loved attending GymbaROO in Newcastle. He has learnt so many new skills like climbing, jumping, singing, playing musical instruments and he really enjoys free play on the different equipment setups. Every lesson is interactive, structured and the instructors are brilliant at keeping little minds entertained. My son loves it when we pull up to the building because he knows he is about to have a great time. The best part is, they are welcoming of mums and dads - so sending my sons dad along to give me 45 minutes of peace at home has been wonderful. I will definitely be sending my newborn along too. Have loved being apart of the program for 2 terms now - thank you! "

-Cat

"GymbaROO has helped my child physically and socially. She has grown so much in just a few weeks. The teachers are always engaging and encouraging. As a parent the classes also provide me with tips and insights on my child's development and fun ways to play!"

Trials

We offer trial classes for those that want to test the program before committing to a full term.

Trials are 3 (consecutive) weeks. You can enrol for the remainder of the term anytime during your trial.

Three weeks allow to understand the program and see its benefits. Children start getting used to the structure and feel comfortable with the equipment and activities, and for baby families it gives you time to bond with other families.

The fee for our trial package is $91.50 for the 3 weeks.

Can I join GymbaROO classes anytime during the term?

Yes, you don’t have to wait for a new term to start to join in. We welcome you anytime!

What do I need to bring to the classes?

As little as possible. Comfortable clothes for you and your baby/child, water to keep hydrated and your treasure bag item for the week.

Babies in the Platypus class will also need to bring a baby blanket.

Do you offer make up classes?

Yes, we do. Make up classes should be used along the term, or during your trial period if you’ve booked a trial pass.

Can I book casual classes?

Sorry, we don’t do one offs. We believe in the benefits of long term work.

We offer term enrolments (join in anytime along the term) or a 3 week trial pass ($91.50).

Can two carers attend?

Yes, we enjoy having family coming along and seeing the progress little ones make. However, if the class is at capacity, we’ll ask extra carers to watch the class from outside the mat area.
