CARTWHEELS PRE-SCHOOL BUS


MISSION
We at Cartwheels have a mission - to make learning and fitness FUN!!! The first several years of a child's life are their most formative. We strive to create a positive learning experience for children in a caring and fun atmosphere.

Through the use of GYMNASTICS, DANCE and CREATIVE MOVEMENT, we have developed a fitness program for children that will help them develop:
  • Coordination
  • Flexibility
  • Strength
This development will help lead to:
  • Self-confidence
  • A positive self image
  • Increased body awareness
WE DELIVER!
Your child is important and so is your time. The Cartwheels staff recognize that in a day and age when both parents work, family time becomes very scarce and irreplaceable. Our innovative gymnastics and movement education classes are brought directly to your child-care provider. Therefore, it will never conflict with your busy schedule and you will not lose any more of the precious time you spend as a family at home.

ABOUT THE BUS
Cartwheels is a full-size school bus that is fully matted and carpeted to assure a safe learning environment.

The bus is heated and air-conditioned for year-round comfort as long as the weather doesn't shift to extreme heat or cold.

Cartwheels is filled with fun learning apparatus that is scaled down to meet the unique size requirements of the pre-school and kindergarten aged child. We utilize an assortment of incline mats, monkey bars, single bars, balance beams, rings and many other developmental skill mats and apparatus.

Classes
A typical cartwheels class will run for 30 minutes and consist of a warm-up activity involving stretching, music, dance, or other activity followed by a circuit of skills and activities designed to teach children basic body positions, movements and safety skills as well as basic gymnastics skills on the floor, beam, bars and rings.

Some special activites that only occur with the Cartwheels bus...
  • Dance Aerobics on the Balance Beam!
  • Beam-Chi! (Tai-Chi on the Balance Beam)
Class sizes vary from 4 to 10 children per class. For centers with larger numbers we will stay and do multiple classes.

PARTICIPATING PRE-SCHOOLS
We teach over 100 children per week, at many pre-schools in Lincoln. We go to Public pre-schools, and we also go to Private in-home pre-schools and daycares.

POLICIES & FEES
Monthly Tuition: $25.00 per month. Please note that we define a month as averaging 4 weeks. Some months will contain 3 weeks because of holidays while others will contain 5 weeks.

Registration Fee: $15.00 per child annually. The registration fee is used to cover our mandatory annual medical insurance on each of the students.

Discounts: Families with more than one child may deduct 10% off of each additional child's tuition.

Make-ups: Because we come to each center only once per week we cannot accommodate make-ups. However, if your child is absent for more than two weeks in a month, give us a call and we will make an adjustment to your tuition.

Closings: If LPS closes for weather related reasons, we may not be taking the bus out. The missed class will be pro-rated to the next month. Cartwheels will also not venture out if the temperature is below 0 or above 100. These classes will be credited to the next month's tuition.

Mechanical Trouble: In the event that our bus is not feeling well and is in for service we will credit the missed class to the next month.
