Gymbaroo Summer Hill at Therapies for Kids
About Gymbaroo Summer Hill
Therapies for Kids is excited to partner with Gymbaroo Summer Hill to offer a range of inclusive early childhood classes at our Leichhardt clinic.
These groups combine Gymbaroo’s movement-based learning approach with the support and expertise of the Therapies for Kids team, creating opportunities for children to learn, play and develop in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Whether you are looking for a baby group, a sensory-friendly program or support as your child prepares for school, these groups provide practical opportunities for children and families to build confidence, connection and developmental foundations through play.
We are committed to creating inclusive, neuro-affirming environments where children of all abilities can learn, play, participate and thrive.
Limited places available.
Why Gymbaroo?
At Therapies for Kids, we believe movement is one of the most important foundations for learning, development, confidence and connection.
Our Gymbaroo classes are inclusive, play-based learning experiences where children can learn, explore and thrive through movement in a supportive and neuro-affirming environment.
Through songs, obstacle courses, games and sensory-motor activities, children are developing much more than physical skills. Movement supports early brain development and helps children build:
- Listening and following directions
- Motor planning and coordination
- Attention and concentration
- Body awareness and regulation
- Early cognitive skills such as colours, shapes and sequencing
- Social interaction and confidence
- Readiness for preschool and school learning
What makes Gymbaroo at Therapies for Kids different is the addition of Occupational Therapy support within sessions. Our OT-supported classes are designed to be welcoming and inclusive for children of all abilities, including those who may benefit from additional support with sensory processing, regulation, communication, motor skills or participation in group environments.
These are not therapy sessions in the traditional sense. They are fun, community-based classes where children can participate alongside their peers in a natural and engaging environment. Families can feel supported knowing our team understands neurodiversity and can adapt activities to help every child feel included, successful and safe.
We offer a range of programs including:
- Baby development classes
- Low sensory groups
- School readiness programs
- Inclusive all-abilities sessions
Whether your child is developing typically, would benefit from some extra support, or you are simply looking for a nurturing environment for early learning, Gymbaroo at Therapies for Kids provides a welcoming space for every child and family.
Because learning through movement should be inclusive, accessible and fun for all children.
Our Groups
Baby Classes
6 Weeks – 12 Months
Our Baby Gymbaroo classes combine the fun, music and movement principles of Gymbaroo with the added support of an experienced therapist, creating a warm, inclusive and neuro-affirming environment for babies and their families.
These play-based classes support early development through songs, sensory experiences, tummy time, movement exploration and connection with caregivers. Sessions are designed to help babies build strength, coordination, movement skills and the foundations for future learning.
Having a therapist involved allows us to gently support babies who may benefit from a little extra help with their development while still participating in a relaxed community-based class alongside their peers.
Our Baby Classes may be particularly suited for:
- Babies who are not yet tolerating tummy time well
- Babies who would benefit from support with rolling, sitting or early movement skills
- Babies who prefer lower sensory environments
- Families seeking guidance around play and development
- Parents looking for an inclusive and supportive first group experience
At Therapies for Kids, we believe every child develops in their own way and at their own pace. Our Baby Gymbaroo classes provide a nurturing space where families can feel supported, connected and confident in their child’s development.
When: Wednesdays, 10:45 am – 11:30 am
Cost: $30 per session
Sensory Friendly Classes
2–4 Years
Our Sensory Friendly Gymbaroo classes are designed for children who may benefit from a calmer, more supportive and neuro-affirming group environment while still enjoying the fun and learning of Gymbaroo.
Using the movement, music and play-based principles of Gymbaroo within a lower sensory setting, these sessions are designed to support participation, confidence and engagement while helping children feel comfortable and successful in a group environment.
A Therapies for Kids therapist is present during each session to support the Gymbaroo teacher, helping to adapt activities, provide gentle guidance and encourage meaningful participation for children of all abilities.
These classes may be particularly suited for children who:
- Prefer quieter or lower sensory experiences
- Need support with regulation or transitions
- Benefit from extra encouragement in group participation
- Are building confidence in movement, play and social interaction
- Would benefit from a supportive community-based program, including families accessing Thriving Kids supports
Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where children can learn through movement, build confidence and experience success in a playful, welcoming and accepting space. At Therapies for Kids, we believe every child deserves access to supportive, inclusive and joyful early learning opportunities.
When: Wednesdays, 9:30 am – 10:15 am
Cost: $35 per session
School Readiness Classes
Preparing for preschool & school
Our School Readiness Gymbaroo classes combine movement, play and early learning experiences to help children build the foundational skills needed for a confident transition to preschool and school.
Using the Gymbaroo approach, children participate in fun and engaging activities that support listening, motor planning, coordination, attention, social interaction and early learning through movement and play.
A Therapies for Kids therapist is present during each session to support the Gymbaroo teacher and help create an inclusive and neuro-affirming environment for children of all abilities. This additional support allows activities to be adapted where needed so children can participate successfully and confidently within the larger group setting.
These classes may be particularly suited for children who:
- Would benefit from extra confidence before starting school
- Need support with group participation and following directions
- Are developing motor coordination and regulation skills
- Learn best through movement and play
- Would benefit from an inclusive community-based program, including families accessing Thriving Kids supports
Our School Readiness classes focus on helping children develop confidence, independence, social connection and a positive foundation for learning within a fun and supportive environment. At Therapies for Kids, we believe school readiness is about more than academic skills — it is about helping children feel capable, connected and ready to participate in the world around them.
When: Wednesdays, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Cost: $50 per session
