The Little Gym is a gymnastics and dance-based child development program for children ages 4 months to 12 years. It promotes child growth in a fun and welcoming environment while stimulating the development of motor, social, and cognitive skills, both individually and in groups.

The programs are organized according to age group:

• From 4 months to 3 years, there is a Parent/Child Program. Parents actively participate in the class, fostering a relationship between the child and their parents, while also encouraging the development of rhythm, coordination, language, and number concepts.
• From ages 3 to 6, there is the Preschool Program. This progressive development program allows children to explore new challenges without their parents’ presence. Basic gymnastics concepts and non-competitive games are introduced to develop perceptual, social, and cognitive skills.
• The School Age program is available for ages 6-12. At this age, more complex gymnastics exercises are introduced, aiming to strengthen each child’s self-esteem so that they strive for their best without feeling obligated to be the best.

In addition to the gymnastics program, The Little Gym organizes Birthday Parties for children from 1 year old as well as a Sports Holiday Program in Summer, Christmas and Easter.

Yes! We’ll reserve a spot for your trial class at your chosen time. The trial class is designed to help you get to know our classes, staff, and space, while also getting to know your child to determine the best group! Confirming your class is essential to ensure we maintain our one-teacher-to-six-child ratio and the child limit for Parent-Child classes. Registering on the day of your first class reduces the registration fee by €15.

A child can start classes at The Little Gym any week of the year. Our programs are designed to challenge each child in a personalized way throughout the year. We always adjust the tuition fee if you want to start in the middle of a given month.

Membership at “The Little Gym” is designed on an ongoing basis, as we believe this is the best way to develop each child’s abilities, year after year. You can cancel your membership at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month following the month in which you notified “Anos Atrevidos Lda” in writing to info.braga@thelittlegym.pt. If you opted for the one- or two-payment plan and cancel your membership, the amount for the paid but unattended period will not be refunded or credited. After cancellation or suspension, your spot will no longer be reserved during the main time slot. Students should speak with the team to confirm available times upon their return.

Yes! Every week we have a different theme, and each child is enrolled in a time slot for their age group. The Little Gym program is designed to be attended once a week. If you can’t make it on the scheduled day, you can reschedule the class for another day that’s convenient for you. These are make-up classes. It’s also possible to schedule a practice class to repeat the week’s theme. Since we are required to maintain enrollment in each class, we simply ask that families communicate with our team to confirm which children will participate and their availability at each time slot. If you can’t make it to a class, please let us know so we can free up a spot for each child.

The Little Gym Portugal offers four convenient payment options. There are 44 weeks of classes between September and July each year, according to the annual plan. In August of each year, regular classes are suspended and there is no payment, with attendance continuing the following month. You can choose to pay annually, in two installments, or in 11 monthly installments. All payments are made exclusively by direct debit, and registration is due on the day of the first class. These fees are adjusted weekly depending on the start date. The average monthly fee ranges from €53 (annual) to €64 (monthly), depending on the payment option chosen. The annual registration fee is €50. Registering on the day of the first class will result in a €15 discount. Insurance is also included for each practicing member, which is renewed annually.

The practice class can be scheduled the day before and is always subject to confirmation by The Little Gym team in order to maintain the proportions of each class.
