Tumblebuddies is a small, clean storefront in East Sacramento close to River Park. It's layout for children to tumble and learn early gymnastics is welcoming and fun.
It's location is in a small shopping center off Carlson Drive containing a laundry mat and a tattoo parlor. While I hoped to grab a little me time while the kids had their class, there isn't a coffee shop nearby. So I remained in the parents seating section during the kids 1 hour session.
And you know, I don't regret it.
It's a lot of fun to watch the coaches engage with students as they tackle various obstacles. Watching the kids climb, jump, balance, somersault and squat, the parents are just as amused as the kids. The energy the coaches put into the curriculum is entertaining as it is endearing.
Coach Kyle and Linsey invent weekly themes, lessons and games. They are gentle, attentive and handle kids struggling to follow directions well.
We attended tumblebuddies for years, starting with their first location near the Expo Area. My daughter (now age 6) participated as a baby. As a mom of a then 9 -18 month yr old, I appreciated having a padded play space for babies to test their new skills in balance and climbing. Tumblebuddies have a changing table available. It's a great space for new parents to spend time with their babies.
My four year old son loves attending class with Coach Kyle. My son isn't as physically active as other boys, so it was nice to see him tackle a somersault or long jump. And he had fun doing it!
I never participated in parents night out, where they babysit for two hours on a Saturday evening for a reasonable fee. But I plan to someday as I trust my kids will have fun and feel safe under Tumblebuddies care.
Highly suggest for parents with little ones at home. Or pre k children looking for something to do.
Now that we're full time in school, it's not as easy to attend. But we'll have to check out their evening sessions some time soon. read more
