Welcome to The Little Gym of Highland Heights
Welcome to The Little Gym of Highland Heights, where babies, toddlers, and big kids ages 4 months to 12 learn, leap, and laugh their way to new skills. Gymnastics, dance, sports, and parent/child classes, all wrapped up in what we call Serious Fun.
Every class is built on Three-Dimensional Learning — movement-based classes that grow your child’s body, brain, and confidence while they think they’re just playing.
This is our bread and butter — every class grows the whole child three ways at once: Get Moving (strength, balance & coordination), Brain Boost (listening, problem-solving & focus), and Citizen Kid (sharing, teamwork & confidence). And it’s built on purpose: The Little Gym’s curriculum is aligned with American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) standards, with the developmental milestones every child needs woven into every lesson.

In Parent/Child classes, a parent or adult is right in the gym with their child — holding hands, joining in, and sharing every first. In Pre-K and Grade School classes, grown-ups watch the action from the lobby and see real progress week to week. Either way, you’ll swap stories with other local families — Highland Heights parents tell us it feels like family here.
A non-competitive gym where children are supported at the level that’s right for them — beginner, intermediate, and advanced — with trained instructors, small classes, and equipment sized for growing bodies. Skills build step by step, at each child’s own pace.
Play is how children build their brains. The AAP’s clinical report The Power of Play — reaffirmed in January 2025 — finds that play with parents and peers promotes the social-emotional, cognitive, language, and self-regulation skills that build executive function, and improves children’s abilities to plan, organize, get along with others, and regulate emotions.
Read it herePlay is “an essential part of a child’s overall development,” reports the Harvard Graduate School of Education, sharing the Harvard Center on the Developing Child’s brain-building-through-play guidance: playful games build executive function — focus, working memory, and self-control — from babyhood on up.
Read it hereMoving and playing with others builds the brain, too. Cleveland Clinic reports research finding that children active in group sports show stronger executive function — memory, focus, the ability to adapt, and emotional control — along with better social skills and fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Ages 3 – 6Preschoolers learn to take turns, follow directions, and master rolls, beams, and bars — the listening and confidence skills that make kindergarten feel easy.

Ages 2 – 10Ballet, tap, and hip hop/jazz funk that build rhythm, grace, and stage confidence — from first pliés in a tutu to big-kid combos.
19 months – 4 yrsMini athletes sample a new sport all the time — soccer, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, golf, tennis, even pickleball. Sporty Beasts plays alongside a grown-up; Mini Jacks takes the field on their own — building agility, teamwork, and a lifelong love of moving.
Watch them grow, level by level. This isn’t free play — it’s a progression, and every step is taught on purpose. Babies build the strength and balance that lead to first steps. Toddlers turn wiggles into coordination, listening, and focus. Older kids master one real skill at a time — rolls become cartwheels, cartwheels become handsprings — coached and spotted at every level. It’s structured, skill-by-skill development that’s hard to recreate at home — and your first class is free, so you can see the difference yourself. Not sure where your child fits? Come try it, and our coaches will place them perfectly.

We’re a recreational gymnastics studio, with classes at a variety of levels — beginner, intermediate, and advanced — so every child can learn at the level that’s right for them and progress at their own pace. More than gymnastics skills alone, our foundational premise is child development, and that’s really what we do: children run, jump, climb, balance, roll, and tumble while also building strength and coordination, listening and focus, confidence, and social skills like taking turns, sharing, and working together with friends. Effort and personal growth are celebrated along the way.
WonderKids is our enrichment club for ages 3–5, meeting Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 1:00–4:00 pm. Led by a licensed educator in small classes, it blends STEAM, early math and literacy, learning centers, art and music with gymnastics and varied dance — plus one Spanish-immersion day each week and sign language. It’s kindergarten readiness, the playful way. Call or text (440) 207-9153 to ask about current openings.
Parties are 90 minutes — 60 minutes in the gym plus 30 minutes celebrating — for ages 1–12, with private use of the whole gym led by our trained team. We set up and clean up.
