This summer, we introduced to our Olympia family the KinderBees program. Our Kindergartners will enjoy bigger challenges and more independence than our younger gymnasts, so we make sure to foster these great traits. Each KinderBee student will receive a t-shirt upon enrolling, participate in special activities throughout the year, and graduate with a trophy at the end of the year.
