I live down south cause that's how i roll. I love all sorts of sweets, chocolates my favorite one of them all. I'm not quite the tall person, but that's ok, i like being small. I'm willing to wait for something but hopefully, someday all the waiting'll take its toll :]

“Gymboree’s philosophy is that children learn best when allowed to actively explore in an environment that is fun and appeals to their natural curiosity and desire to learn, supported by the people who matter most in their lives.”
As the global leader in classes for kids with over 550 branches in 30 different countries, Gymboree Play & Music strongly believes that playing and learning are two things that are inextricably intertwined. Their goal, in relation to their philosophy, is to develop the cognitive, physical and social skills of children as they learn and play with the help of their parents and loved ones. Gymboree, started all the way back in the year 1976 when a mother named Joan Barnes, was searching for a fun and safe place where children, together with their parents are able to bond and play together. Unfortunately she was not able to find any place that offered such an idea and instead she went and established her own program, since then the program has been very successful in helping develop children at very young ages at the same time building on the parent and child relationship.
Today, the Gymboree Learning Program is at its best, developed by its program directors together with the national child development expert, Zero to Three, they continue to support the variety of parents and children with their program that ensures to provide the best enrichment education for them. Their program offers a number of classes such as music, sports, art, family, school skills, and the Gymboree play and learn class. The Gymboree play and learn class is one of their most offered class, it has a seven-level program designed to aid in the growth of each unique child in his or her own individual pace. The seven-level program includes discovery of senses and the support if visual and auditory development, as well as learning about the cause and effect of actions and the building up of their strength through playing with ramps, slides and climbers. Not only that but the program helps the child learn about two-way communication, play environments and much much more.
Gymboree play and music, wishes to present new ways to help a child think creatively, solve problems and gain confidence to become independent learners with the parents and caregivers taking part in this activity. It is unique in sense that it is the only program that not only highly focuses on the development of the child but the child’s relationship with the parents and their involvement in the child’s growth. It is a fun way to debut a child’s first learning experience in this world and hopefully will continue to carry on this learning experience and apply it to their future endeavors.
