About Gymboree Play & Music:
One of the most distinguishing features of Gymboree Play & Music, and a key philosophy on which it is based, is their unique approach to parent involvement, which encourages participation in and understanding of each child’s development. The reason is simple: children learn best when parents enter their world of play and imagination. Parental support is also important to a child’s healthy emotional development, building trust between parent and child and helping kids to feel more confident to explore and learn.

Gymboree Play & Learn classes encourage development through play and learning with our seven-level program designed to support your child's growth at his or her own individual pace. From sensory stimulation to problem-solving games and storytelling, our classes use play-based activities to stretch the body and mind.

Our Gymboree Music classes enhance your child's development and love of music through song, dance, movement games and instruments. With an array of musical styles, our classes help children explore the power of rhythm, melody, tonality and beat while nurturing key physical, social and intellectual skills.
