How many years have you been in business in NYC?
10 years
How did you get your start and what was your initial inspiration?
My one year old son at the time was enrolled in a tumbling program and after stopping by the class, I wanted to see if there were other tumbling programs in the city
What do you feel differentiates you from others in your field?
It’s a unique, time proven program that helps children develop not just physical but social and emotional skills. Time and time again, parents have told me how much their child loves the program and the growth the program enables.
What do you feel gives you longevity in this big city with so many options?
Putting the child and parents first and foremost. We take an individual approach to the program, making sure that all the children are learning to the best of their ability. Our motto is “you don’t have to be the best as long as you try your best.”
How do you positively impact your clientele?
We celebrate children’s milestones every day and we either call or email the parents
What is your favorite part of your job?
Just soaking in all the excitement and happiness in the lobby when the children are here waiting for their class to begin.
What is your favorite secret NYC spot?
Pier 1 at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. It’s a beautiful grassy field with amazing views of Manhattan, Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty.
