Gymboree Play & Music has been fostering creativity and confidence in children for over 40 years. The global network spans more than 700 locations in over 40 countries, making it the global leader in early childhood development programmes.
All Gymboree classes are designed by child development specialists and built around three key elements of early childhood development: social and emotional skills, cognitive development, and physical growth.
Gymboree's proprietary play equipment was designed by Jay Beckwith, a US-based playground designer with more than 30 years of experience. The modular playscapes are reconfigured every three weeks so children experience new challenges regularly.
Gymboree Play & Music was founded in 1976 by Joan Barnes in Marin County, California. The concept expanded worldwide and now operates in over 40 countries.
Parent and caregiver involvement is central to the Gymboree approach. Adult-child interactive play is considered essential for nurturing development.
Gymboree DACH classes are available in English, German and French depending on location. Munich offers classes in English and German; Geneva in English and French.
