i've become a big fan of the gymboree play classes offered at sandpoint/magnuson park. and even though i'm frustrated that my daughter is crawling out of her crib before she is 2 years old, she is doing it perfectly without a single thud or bang and she has stuck the landing every time. all of these skills i attribute to the time she has spent at gymboree classes climbing, jumping, balancing, falling, bouncing, rolling, sliding, swinging, hanging and having fun. most of the classes are in the mornings with some evening and weekend classes as well. they last 45 minutes and have some elements that repeat from week to week like song and bubble time. kids love hearing the bells to come to the circle for bubbles and seem to really love the anticipation. music and art classes are offered here as well. for the summer they are offering a 2 for the price of 1 deal where your child can either take 2 classes (eg. one play and one art) a week or you can enroll 2 siblings.
