A Home for Jump!

We are proud to announce the location of our first child-inspired facility at 837 Beatty St. 

“When I saw the space, I knew immediately that my vision would work here” says Jump! founder Jennifer Hood. “We’re creating a ‘boutique’ gym where the space compliments our individualized, family-centered approach to physical development. Children learn best when they feel confident, so it’s important that they are comfortable in their environment”. 

The gym is large enough to present limitless potential to a young child, but small enough for them to feel ownership 
of the space. It will feature bright but calming colours to balance the stimulation of physical activity, natural alcove spaces allowing kids to focus on their current activity and a full range of top quality gymnastics apparatus.

And, because it is not just about the kids…we’ll have a beautiful space, with exposed brick walls and French
doors overlooking the gym, where parents can relax.

When do we start, when do we start?

Registration will open June 15^th. The first session will run for ten weeks starting September 2^nd, 2008. You can set up your family account and view the schedule online now. 

We will be offering a special opportunity to early registrants to have their child attend Jump! ‘Housewarming’ sessions in the last two weeks of August (limited spaces available on first come, first serve basis – you’ll be emailed further information following registration).

Put a little Jump! in your Leapfrog’s life

We’re counting on one of those long, amazing summers where you don’t even question that you’re going to wake up to sunshine each morning.  So here are a few activities for you and your Leapfrog to do outside in the sunshine.

Play in the Park – Inspired by Silken Laumann’s ActiveKids Movement, a number of Vancouver neighbourhoods have started kids and parents unstructured play evenings at their local park. Contact SAM to find one in your neighbourhood, or for help in starting your own.

Splish splash in the Sun – Vancouver has five beautiful outdoor pools where families can splash and swim to their hearts content. Swimming, like gymnastics, helps children develop fundamental physical attributes.

Kids on Tour – Vancouver has a plethora of playgrounds. Why not take a tour, checking out a new one each week. One of our personal favourites for toddlers and young children is in Jump!’s new ‘hood.  David Lam Park has two separate play structures targeted at different age groups and climbing abilities.
