Q: What is CartWheels Tumble Bus?
A: CartWheels Tumble Bus is a unique and
innovative way to teach gymnastics and basic motor skills to preschoolers!
We drive a converted school bus to the daycare center or preschool
and park it outside. Then, we lead the children on to the bus and
have a gymnastics class safely on board.
Q:
Who can participate?
A: We want to give the children in
your Daycare Center or Preschool Program the opportunity to take
part in out gymnastics program. Our program is designed for children
between the ages of 18 months to 6 years.
 Q:
How can my child participate in the CartWheels Tumble Bus
Program?
A: We understand how difficult it can be for you to transport
your children
to gymnastics facilities for lessons. But we truly believe that basic gymnastics
instruction builds a platform for all future athletics, and ensures
plenty of good exercise, fun and confidence-building in the process.
That’s why we want to bring our program to your
child’s daycare or preschool facility.
If our program is already at your daycare or preschool you
can register your child online. Please go to “Register
My Child” to sign up today!
If the CartWheels program is currently not at your
daycare or preschool, have your director contact us and we will
be happy to bring our program to you!

All of the bus seats have been removed; leaving an area that

Our equipment also includes a variety of specialty
equipment suited for preschoolers, such as: monster donuts, incline
mats, mail box, octagon barrels, and a spring board for vaulting.
Our colorful and “Fun Shaped Mats” are designed
to teach and excite students while learning the basic concepts of
gymnastics.
Q: What will the students learn?
A: CartWheels Tumble Bus introduces children to
all of the Olympic gymnastics events: balance beam, horizontal bars,
floor exercise (tumbling), vaulting, still rings, and parallel bars. While learning the basics, children will develop strength,
coordination and self-confidence along with basic motor skills. Children also learn the importance
of waiting their turn, praising others, being rewarded for good
behavior and following directions. Please check out our custom-made weekly
class lesson plans.
