Mission Statement
About Gymboree Play & Music
Gymboree Play & Music began in 1976. Our founder, Joan Barnes, recognised the lack of classes or groups for infants and their parents, and began a "test" Gymboree class. It was an instant success. Two years later, Gymboree began to franchise its unique programme and we have been growing ever since. When a parent and their child attend a Gymboree Play Programme, they will participate in the "Level" that represents not only the child's age but also the developmental tasks he is working on. As certain steps are achieved, the child will move up to the next level. In addition to our core play programmes, we have additional Gymboree-designed classes that are developmentally based and offered year around. This includes Play & Learn, Art and School Skills, for children ranging from 0-5 years.
As the creator and leader in children's interactive programmes like play, music, art and development, we've built a business system with an unparalleled reputation. Our unique approach has created a loyal customer base that continues to grow worldwide. Our franchisees also have the advantage of being part of the rapidly growing Gymboree brand.
