 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter absolutely loves her tumbling class here. Miss Stelmo is very sweet and great with all the Littles. My daughter has Autism and is nonverbal, so I was concerned in the beginning about how well she would tolerate the class. Although it's not overly structured and pretty flexible, there's still a little bit of a set routine, and my daughter prefers to do her own thing. She also doesn't follow instructions very well. Her teacher is very patient and understanding with her and tells me often how strong and skilled she is and hopes that we will continue to let her progress to more advanced classes. After almost a year in the program, my daughter continues to be excited about the class and actively participates in most of the routines with an energy that almost cripples me by the end. She has also learned many skills here that have her occupational and speech therapists thrilled. I'm so grateful we found this place and plan to keep bringing my daughter here for as long as possible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started the “Wild Things” class with our 16 month old (now 18 months) and are thrilled with the progress she has made in just two months

After only a few classes we noticed that our little one’s coordination and balance had improved. She is learning new skills every class and engages muscles I wouldn’t think to work on at home. Something I did not think about before signing up, but she is also learning patience and waiting your turn in line. An added bonus is that it also burns some energy (lol). Even if you don’t plan on your child becoming a “gymnast”, this class is spectacular for the reasons above!

Coach Stelmo is absolutely amazing with all the children, is extremely knowledgeable, and sets up an awesome class every week.

We are so impressed with Modern Play and highly recommend them for your toddlers.

Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re so happy to hear that your little one has made such great progress in just two months — it’s truly wonderful to see improvements in coordination, balance, and even patience! Coach Stelmo and our team work hard to create fun and engaging classes that help children develop important skills, and we’re thrilled to know it’s been such a positive experience for your family. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing even more growth in the future!

Their coaches are kind and patient and very good instructors. They somehow find a way to give each kid a good amount of individual attention in every class. We are so impressed!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 4 year old loves Modern play for gymnastics. She’s been going for a year and we have seen her having more strenght and doing things she couldn’t do when she started. The teachers are amazing and know what they are doing.
