Not been before and unsure which session is right for your child? Let’s break it down. We’ve got options for everyone from brand-new walkers up to the fearless fours, and each session is designed to keep your kids engaged, active, and, of course this week, photo-ready.
Stay & Play – For Babies and Preschoolers
Days: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays
Age Group: Babies to 4 years
Duration: 2.5 hours (arrive and leave whenever suits you)
Stay & Play is all about exploration and freedom! With a whopping 2.5 hours of access to everything from the foam pit to trampettes, soft play, and all kinds of gymnastics apparatus, your child can dive right in. Feel free to let them roam and discover, while our team keeps the vibe upbeat and fun. And yes, there’s a snack area for breaks—just remember, we’re a nut-free zone, so plan those snacks accordingly.
Gloworms – Walkers to 4 Years
Days: Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays
Age Group: Competent walkers up to 4 years
Duration: 45 minutes
Gloworms sessions are designed for our more mobile little ones who are ready to take on a bit of structure, along with a fun workout. We kick things off with a musical action warm-up led by our fabulous staff, setting the tone for a lively class. After warming up, it's straight to the apparatus, where your child can test their skills with supervision and encouragement from our coaches.
At the end, we gather for a closing song, hand stamps, and a sticker or two to celebrate their hard work. Plus, regular attendees get a start chart and can earn attendance certificates, which are a huge hit among the little ones! And yes, it’s all captured by DE Photography this week, so you’ll have those sweet moments preserved forever.
Butterflies – Independent 3-4 Year Olds
Days: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays
Age Group: 3 to 4 years, working independently
Duration: 45 minutes
Butterflies is the session where our youngest gymnasts start working independently, with a bit more focus on basic gymnastics skills. After a musical warm-up, the children will rotate through the equipment with our club coaches, learning foundational movements in a safe and engaging way.
This session is ideal for slightly older preschoolers who are eager to try things out on their own, giving parents a chance to watch them bloom with confidence. And of course, a hand stamp and attendance certificate come their way for their efforts.
What You’ll Find in Each Session
For those of you new to Wickers, here’s a peek at what each session includes:
Musical Warm-ups: Get ready to see some truly adorable dance moves and coordinated chaos as the kids warm up.
Exploration Play: Whether it's free play in Stay & Play or structured time on the apparatus in Gloworms and Butterflies, we’ve got a little bit of everything to suit each age group.
Gymnastics Equipment: We’re talking foam pits, trampettes, beams, bars, and more—all child-sized and safe for little explorers.
Snack Area: Because all that tumbling works up an appetite! Just remember to pack nut-free snacks.
Awards and Rewards: Each session ends with stamps, stickers, and attendance certificates, helping the kids build confidence and enthusiasm for staying active.
Why Preschool Photography Week is the Perfect Time to Join
DE Photography doesn’t just snap photos—they capture moments. Moments you’ll want to look back on as your little ones grow up too fast. There’s nothing quite like seeing your child mid-leap or standing tall on a beam, beaming with pride. These sessions are a great chance to freeze those milestones in time, especially if your little gymnast is starting to show off their skills.
Plus, with the holidays right around the corner, these photos make for fantastic, heartwarming gifts. Imagine the grandparents' faces lighting up when they unwrap a framed picture of their grandchild soaring through the air. Priceless, right?
