Meet the Teachers
ABOUT ME
I am originally from Adelaide, taught on Kangaroo Island, and have been in Perth now for 6 years. Alongside teaching, I love reading, animals, and the beach.
BACKGROUND
My background is in Early Childhood Education, as a classroom teacher, tutor, and for the last 3.5 years, a GymbaROO teacher.
WHY I LOVE GYMBAROO
I am passionate about the benefits of the GymbaROO program and have so much love for all the babies and toddlers I teach. I love seeing the same families coming through the door each week, helping them to develop their children’s skills and expanding their knowledge of neurological development. It’s so rewarding seeing the babies I taught starting to crawl, taking their first steps, then practically running the class with their confidence and new-found skills.

ABOUT ME
In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach and spending time with my family and friends.
BACKGROUND
I have a passion for educating children. I completed my Bachelor of Primary Education and worked as a tutor, assisting children to achieve their educational goals. I have also volunteered with children with additional needs.
WHY I LOVE GYMBAROO
I have been working at GymbaROO for about two years. I love working at GymbaROO as I love making a positive impact on the lives of young children and their families, as well as building their foundations for learning and growth. It is very rewarding to see the progress and growth in the children.
Miss Amanda
ABOUT ME
My name is Amanda and in my spare time I enjoy baking, reading, and playing games with my children.
BACKGROUND
I am an Early Childhood Teacher and have been teaching for 12 years. I have 2 school aged children, and am grateful to have experienced this wonderful GymbaROO program with them as a mother.
WHY I LOVE GYMBAROO
I love delivering this wonderful program to families, and it is so special to see the continual growth of each child reaching their potential through our neurodevelopmental activities.
"Gymbaroo Booragoon is amazing. The gym area has a fantastic setup with a range of fun activities like climbing, jumping and crawling. The mat sessions are fun and interactive. I love how there are the words of the songs on the wall and a animal word of the day. The extra parent resources in the hub are great too. Gymbaroo has made a huge positive change in our sons interaction, speaking and fitness. I find it so much more helpful than swimming classes. I highly recommend it as the best activity to do with your growing child."
-Sarah"My 16 month old has been going since he was 9 months and he absolutely loves it, teachers are amazing, 100% worth it!"
-Candice"This is such a great place for my little one. Have been going there since 3 months old. The props help with the senses, balance, muscle movements and coordination, but it also gives you a sense of how baby motion works so you can get creative on how to further develop it when you're at home or out and about. Instructor is amazing and really energetic. Gave me abit more confidence on handling the fragile little thing. Meeting other parents and their little ones was very comforting as well. Baby gets to crawl around the place and explore the different setup whilst also interacting with other little ones - when they're abit older. Good access, good parking, with change area and toilet. Has been an absolutely memorable experience."

-VanessaTrial Classes
We offer a 3 week trial option in available classes, at the beginning of the term. This option is $84 and does not guarantee your spot for the remainder of the term.
The classes must be taken consecutively for 3 weeks at the same day/time of your first booking.
3 weeks gives your child the best chance to settle into the program and for you to start to see the benefits in your child’s development.
Birthday Parties
Parties at GymbaROO Booragoon are available for booking Saturday afternoons after classes and Sundays any time, plus weekdays in the school holidays. Perfect for 1st, up to 4th birthdays.
Families are welcome to bring their own decorations and there is plenty of room to set up food.
Invitation templates are included.
Contact us to enquire about your preferred date!
I'm going away during the term. What do I do about the classes I can't attend?
We offer make up classes! Once you’re enrolled, you can cancel any classes you can’t attend ahead of time and book make up classes within the term. The class must be cancelled prior to the start time to be eligible for a make up class. Make ups cannot be transferred to future terms or different centres and are subject to availablility.
If you’re struggling to find a make up spot, please send us an email so we can help to book you in.
You also have weekly class videos and neurological information, so you’re still able to access the content from home, even if you can’t make it in centre!
Can I get a refund if I can no longer make the class?
We do not offer refunds. If the class time no longer works for you, please send as an email so we can move you into a different day/time which works for you. If it’s only a small number of classes you can’t attend, we can organise make up classes for you.
If your child is struggling to participate in the class, please give it time. It usually gives new children around 3 weeks to fully settle into the routine of the program and then they come to expect and love the different parts of the class, as they know what’s coming next!
For specific circumstances, such as an emergency trip or hospital stay, we can offer credit for the following term. This must be organised via email prior to the class time.
I can't afford the full term amount. Are there any other options for payment?
We can do weekly direct debits of $25. When you book your spot, click “bank transfer” then send us an email with your preferred start date for your direct debit. We will then set this up for you.
We also have afterpay in centre.
Are we able to use our NDIS funding on GymbaROO classes?
If you are self funded, you are more than welcome to use your funding towards the classes. We have many physios and OTs recommending GymbaROO for the babies and toddlers they see.
Can I just try 1 class before committing to a term?
We offer a 3 week trial option at the beginning of the term, when class spaces are available. The 3 weeks gives you a good feel for the program, and allows your child time to settle into the new environment.
The trial does not guarantee your spot for the remainder of the term, so as soon as you know you’d like to continue on, make sure to book your spot!
My child is 1 year old and crawling. Which class should I enrol into?
The exercises and activities within each level are designed for specific developmental stages, rather than age. If your child is crawling, you can enrol in a Wombat class. Once they’re walking independently, we can move you to a Penguin class. It’s okay to do this mid-term! The exercises in the Wombat class will help your child get to the next stage in their development. Creeping and crawling are the best stages for your child’s development, so please don’t rush them to walk. They will love the Wombat activities!
My child is 8 months old and not crawling. Which class should I enrol into?
The exercises and activities within each level are designed for specific developmental stages, rather than age. If your child is not yet crawling, you can enrol in a Platypus class. Once they’re crawling, we can move you to a Wombat class. It’s okay to do this mid-term! The exercises in the Platypus class will help your child get to the next stage in their development. Our teachers can give you exercises and ideas to help your baby build their muscle tone and readiness to crawl.
