Kidtastics' Shining Star- May

Shining Star: Collin and Carson
My name is Collin and this is my best bud Carson and we are four years old! When we first started gymnastics we didn’t know what to expect. We first met our teachers Miss Nikki, Miss Amber, and Miss Heidi. They really are a lot of fun. We started the class by being able to run all around and play whatever we wanted until it was time to start class. At first Carson and I were in different groups. We really didn’t mind, but we wanted to be together. So the teacher’s put us in the same group and that was awesome. We learned many great tricks that we can do on our own including teeter-totter’s and cartwheel’s. We also got to play on the bars and balance beam. Our favorite part of gymnastics is doing forward rolls down the cheese and flipping in the doughnut. It is so cool. We really like Miss Nikki because she is really funny and Carson calls her Miss Mickey, which is even more funny. We really have had a great time in gymnastics this whole year. Thank you Kidtastics for teaching us gymnastics and fun games.

Kidtastics' Shining Star April
Kidtastics’ Tumbelina Present This Month’s
Shining Star:Johana Rosenthal
My Name is Johana and I am four years old. When Ms. Laurie first arrived at my grandparent’s house to teach me to swim I was excited to meet her. I never had swim lessons before, but grandma and grandpa’s pool was really big and I wanted to jump right in. However, I realized that going underwater was scary for me. Ms. Laurie’s patience and play time in the pool made me quickly feel at ease in the water. I love pouring water over Ms. Laurie’s head and she makes me laugh when she does it to me. I explored the pool with Ms. Laurie as I acted like a spider on the wall. I went all the way around the pool. My comfort for going underwater was a slow development, but once I was comfortable going underwater with Ms. Laurie then I started to enjoy going underwater alone on the steps. I can make some really BIG bubbles. First, I learned to get rocket swim toys underwater on the first step then I was able to get rings on the bottom step. I found out that opening your eyes underwater makes finding the toys much easier. I now love going underwater so much that I even swim over the steps. Ms. Laurie told my mom that I have become a fish. I even went underwater like a shark and ate a fish. Swimming with Ms. Laurie helped me find out that going underwater like a fish is the best part about being in the swimming pool. I love Kidtastics swim program and cannot wait to swim with Ms. Laurie next summer. I will keep improving my swim skills with mommy since Ms. Laurie gave her so some many swim tips. Thanks Kidtastics for making swimming the most fun of all!

Water Safety- what parents & caregivers need to know
I read a great article today about reminding parents and caregivers how to make sure their children are water safe. It's a MUST read.
Review it for your child's safety and then make a list of pool rules for your home and ALWAYS enforce them; even for the children who are 1.5 yrs old. You can start teaching your child water safety at an early age by asking them yes or no questions about the rules. For example, "Are you suppose to go in the pool without an adult?" They answer "no" or shake their head no. Educating kids early about water safety is a successful way to prevent water accidents.
Kidtastics has a list of common pool rules that will aid you when creating your home pool rules.
