Not sure whether your preschooler is ready to start school? Gymboree's School Skills class is designed to be a stepping stone to preschool, VPK or Kindergarten and it is the perfect alternative to daycare! This is a drop-off program that introduces kids to being independent of their parent. This class includes independent and group learning activities that require cooperation and self-awareness while encouraging communication with peers. School Skills will help your child develop confidence and important development skills that help prepare them for school!

There are 5 main components to the class:

  1. A social-emotional focus, for example cooperation or effective communication. We find games, activities and projects to promote these important life skills.
  2. A letter, number or shape of the day which we practice writing and recognizing. 
  3. Centers that allow the children to work in small groups and experience multiple manipulative areas of the room while having focused play. 
  4. Science experiments that engage senses and curiosity in the world around them.
  5. Play time! They run, jump, share, sing, dance, build and have fun!



School Skills is offered 3 times a week: Monday, Wednesday & Friday

The 1 hour School Skills class is for children 2.5-5 years old and the 2 hour School Skills class is for 3-5 year olds. You may choose to enroll kids between 3-5 years old in both the 1 hour and 2 hour classes so they can be there for a full 3 hours. 

Prices start at $85 a month for one 1 hour class per week. Please call for a complete pricing list. There is no registration fee.

**If a child is not restroom independent a parent must stay near-by in order to assist with diapers. 

If you are not ready for the drop-off class, you may want to try an Explorers Class (for 2 year olds and their parent). After select 45 minute Explorers classes they offer a mini drop-off for 30 minutes where parents stay in the building while children are introduced to being independent with their teacher.
