Special Programs - Kids in Motion (KIM)

Kids In Motion (ages 1-5)
This 45 minute open gym time provides an opportunity for a family to enjoy physical activities in an unstructured class. Physical activity is an important part of your child's life; it has tremendous impact on physical, intellectual, and emotional development. As adults, we have the responsibility to be role models for our children, sharing with them the pleasures and benefits of a physical active lifestyle.  

Parent-guided gym time for pre-schoolers
This parent/child open gym at Nittany is for ages 1 to 5. KIM runs Mondays from 10:30am to 11:15am and Thursdays from 9:30am to 10:15am. Nittany instructors are present for safety, but do not instruct during this session. Come to one or both open gym times each week! Perfect for little kids with lots of energy! KIM runs during the school year session. (September through May) and registration for KIM is ongoing throughout the school year session.

Important Information

Please have children wear soft comfortable clothing. We will ask you to remove their socks to avoid slipping on the equipment and to avoid losing the socks in the pit. 

Parents/guardians will be asked to remove their shoes before entering the gym.

Babysitters and grandparents may bring the children to the open gym but must fill out a waiver before entering gym. All registration forms and waivers for the children must be signed by the parents or legal guardians prior to participation.

Please call ahead or arrive a few minutes early to register before your first KIM open gym. 

There is a $10 once/year registration fee per child if you are not already an active member. This KIM registration fee lasts the duration of the School Year session, which is September through May.  (If your child is already enrolled in an instructed class at NGA, you may attend Kids in Motion for the $5 per class fee and no additional registration fee is required.)

Each class is $5 per child and you pay when you arrive.  We accept cash, checks or credit cards.
