Gymboree Play & Music of Jersey City

How does your child benefit by attending Gymboree?

Socialization - Children become more comfortable with other children and adults and experience their first teacher-relationship before they go to school. Children and adults alike meet first friends at Gymboree - some that last a lifetime! New parenthood becomes less isolating and more fulfilling.

Physical Development, Fitness, Sensory Stimulation- Children embrace a fit lifestyle at an early age. They will crawl, run, climb, jump and move on playscapes that change every 2 weeks, learning physical skills such as motor planning, spatial discrimination and hand-eye coordination. Even the youngest babies benefit from sensory and motor stimulation with a fun, musical Gymboree twist.

Cognitive Stimulation - A baby's brain grows faster now than at any other time. Gymboree activities stimulate all parts of the brain through fun parent-child activities. Children learn spatial, problem-solving and imaginary concepts.

Emotional Bonds - Gymboree is a special, uninterrupted time to explore and share fun, safe and positive experiences with your child. The experience is sure to deepen bonds between children and their parent or caregiver and create lifelong memories.

A few helpful hints to make your first Gymboree experience enjoyable:

Please arrive no more than 5 minutes before the scheduled class starts, and do your best to not be late. Classes start on time! Dress your child in comfortable play clothes and gripper socks for better traction in the gym. All grownups must also wear socks on the playfloor. No shoes! Stay within a hug's reach of your child for safety and extra encouragement. No food or drinks on the playfloor. Leave your valuables at home and be mindful of your personal belongings. We cannot be responsible for their security. If one of you is ill, please reschedule your appointment. We have a generous makeup policy as long as you are currently enrolled. Our team is known for being warm, welcoming and eager to make your experience memorable. We look forward to your visit!

We Are The Experts in Early Childhood Development

Our Locations Are Safe Places to Play and Learn
We provide an environment where children are free to move, play and explore safely. Our proprietary equipment was designed by Jay Beck with, a nationally respected playground designer with more than 30 years of experience, who created every structure with the needs of children in mind. Our play environments are designed to deliver the high-quality standard parents expect for their children.

Our History
Gymboree began in 1976 when Joan Barnes, a mother from Marin County, California, tried to find a safe, fun place featuring age-appropriate activities for parents and young children to play together. Unable to do so, she did what any enterprising person would; she started her own program! We’ve been proudly inspiring parents and children ever since.
