Zing! Little Movers USE CODE "LITTLEMOVER" at CHECKOUT FOR 50% OFF YOUR FIRST CLASS :) Ages 10–18 months | Grown-Up & Me Wobbles welcome. Little Movers is 45 minutes of climbing, crawling, cruising and giggling — a grown-up-and-me class built for the stage when everything is brand new and everything is worth trying. Your little one builds strength, balance, coordination and body awareness. You get a front-row seat. Here's how it goes: Open Floor. Doors open and so does the room. Props are set out in little worlds to discover, and your child gets to arrive at their own pace — no rush, no pressure. Hype Up. Circle time! We sing every child's name, wake up our bodies from fingers to toes, and get the wiggles going. Zing! Time. The skill of the day. Squatting down and standing back up. Reaching, carrying, climbing up and turning around to come back down. We'll show you exactly how to support your child through each one. Zing! Zone. Tunnels, ramps, tires and soft obstacle courses sized for little bodies. No lines, no waiting, no taking turns — everyone explores at their own speed while we circulate and cheer. Zinger! The big finish. Parachute, music, and a bubble dance party. Cool Down. Stretch, snuggle, one quiet song, and out the door with a very happy, very tired toddler. Come get active, bond with your child, and meet the neighborhood families you'll be running into at the playground for years. Small groups, warm room, zero judgment about crying, wandering or the occasional nap-time meltdown. Is my child ready? Little Movers is designed for babies and young toddlers who can stand with support, cruise, or are walkers. Not standing yet but want to give it a try? Email us at hello@zing-kids.com and we'll share some options. Before your first class Arrive 5 minutes early on day one so we can get you settled and show you the ropes. Bring water and wear comfortable clothes you can move in — you'll be on the floor too. Our studio is shoe-free. Bring socks or grab grippy socks in the studio (free with a Zing! Membership). We have shoe coverings if you'd rather keep yours on. Nut-free snacks are welcome on the table side of the room — just not on the fitness floor. Remember: this is a grown-up & me class and grown-ups are expected to support their child from start to finish <3
