Beginning November 8th!
Build skills. Grow confidence. Feel a sense of belonging.
Beginning Sunday, November 8, the YWCA of White Plains & Central Westchester is offering sensory-friendly gymnastics classes open to all children, with age-group options for ages 2–10.
Our classes provide the same quality instruction and skill development as our regular recreational gymnastics classes in a quieter, lower-stimulation environment. With only one class in the gym at a time, children can learn with fewer distractions. Additional instructors, based on enrollment, provide extra guidance and individualized attention.
These classes are a welcoming option for children with sensory sensitivities, attention differences, or anyone who feels more comfortable in a calmer setting. No diagnosis or special accommodation is required.
Join us at 515 North Street, White Plains, and help your child experience the joy of learning, moving, and building confidence.
For class details and registration information, contact membership@ywcawpcw.org or call 914-949-6227, ext. 164.
