HOW IT WORKS
For 8 weeks the TumbleBus Stars Program offers fun, fitness focused lesson plans designed to improve and encourage the health and wellness of daycare children in our community, ages 2 – 6. Each week The TumbleBus arrives at the daycare, our certified instructors teach a 30 minute structured routine.
Each class begins with a few minutes of “explore time”. Because each lesson plan is unique, the layout and even equipment changes on the bus. Children are always excited to first explore the bus layout.
Next children line up and follow the teacher in a warm up routine. This includes stretching, jumping and gymnastic positions. The warm up is followed by the circuit. This is the core part of the class. Children follow the circuit and participate on different equipment to learn basic skills.
Lastly, children line up once more for instructions on what we call our “ending game”. This is usually a cool down activity, often a song with motions, a yoga activity or even fun with the parachute. Children are rewarded with a stamp and a gummy bear and are returned to class.
This fun-filled fitness class introduces children to the fundamentals of fitness and encourages them to develop a lasting love for physical fitness. Through generous donations and grants we are able to provide this amazing program to local daycares and preschools at little or even no cost.

Filling the gap:
Many daycare facilities are not able to offer a gym program because of limited space and staffing. TumbleBus comes in to help fill the gap. With this program all the FUN takes place right on the bus! Fully heated and air-conditioned, The TumbleBus is ready to fill the gap that many daycares are missing and bring in our special program to get kids and their families excited about getting fit and being healthy.
*Children should get plenty of exercise and play time each day. TumbleBus is dedicated to teaching children different techniques, skills and safety tips so that they can have the confidence and excitement to get out and play long after our program has concluded.
And it works! Kids who have participated in this Fun-tastic program are excited and can't wait to get out and play!
