The Little Gym is a gymnastics and dance-based child development program for children ages 4 months to 12 years. It promotes the child’s growth in a fun and welcoming environment while stimulating the development of motor, social and cognitive skills, in a personalized and group way.

The programs are organized according to age group:

• From 4 months to 3 years there is the Parents/Children Program. Parents actively participate in the class, promoting the relationship between the child and the parents, while stimulating the notion of rhythm, coordination, language and numerical concepts.
• From 3-6 years old there is the Pre-School Age Program. A progressive development program where children explore new challenges without the presence of their parents. Basic concepts of gymnastics and non-competitive games are introduced in order to develop perceptual, social and cognitive skills.
• From 6-12 years old there is the School Age program. At this age, more complex gymnastics exercises are introduced with the aim of reinforcing each child’s self-esteem so that each child tries their best without the obligation to be the best.

In addition to the gymnastics program, The Little Gym organizes Birthday Parties for children from 1 year old onwards, as well as a Sports Holiday Program in the Summer, Christmas and Easter.

Yes! We will reserve a place at the chosen time for the trial class. A trial class is the best way to get to know The Little Gym’s program, staff and facilities.

Following the first class, you will decide whether you want to continue attending our program on a regular basis. The first trial class costs €15 and must be paid when booking. By registering on the same day you will receive a discount of €15 on the first year of registration and insurance, reducing the same from €50 to €35.

The registration form will be filled out later with attendance details, which you can check in the FAQs. In the first month we will make a proportional monthly payment, based on the day of enrollment.

If you are unable to attend the trial class, you can reschedule it at no additional cost. You just need to let us know before the class starts, preferably by phone.

If you are present and your child does not participate in the class, we will give you the possibility to reschedule a new class at no additional cost. These situations happen more frequently in the 3 – 4 years.

A child can start classes at The Little Gym any week of the year. Our programs are designed to challenge each child in a personalized way throughout the year. We always adjust the amount to be paid if you want to start in the middle of a given month.

Membership in “The Little Gym” is planned on an ongoing basis as we believe this is the best way to develop each child’s abilities, year after year. You can cancel your membership at any time. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the month following the month in which written communication was made to “Pequenos Diabretes Lda” at info@thelittlegym.pt. If you have chosen the 1-payment option and cancel your attendance, the amount for the period paid and not attended will not be refunded or credited. After cancellation or suspension, the place will no longer be reserved in the main time slot. They should speak to the team to validate the available times upon their return.

Yes! Every week we have a different theme and each child is enrolled in one of the time slots for their age group. The Little Gym program is designed to be attended once a week. If you cannot come on the scheduled day, you can reschedule the class for another day that is convenient for you. These are the compensation classes. There is also the possibility of booking a practical class in order to repeat the theme of the week. As we are obliged to maintain the indexes in each class, we only ask that there is communication between families and our team in order to validate the children who will participate and the availability at each time. If you are unable to attend a class, please let us know so that we can free up a space for each child. We do not guarantee places for make-up or practice classes as these depend on parents notifying us that they will be absent and on available places.
