Gymboree Play & Music, San Mateo

Ever wondered why play-based learning has been the cornerstone of our programs for 50 years? To quote Mr. Rogers:
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

We meet young children where they are developmentally, and give them a safe space to practice and master new skills, supported by a loving adult.

We open up your child's world, introducing them to new experiences and concepts through play, helping them to develop a life-long love of learning.

Ever wonder why we end every Play & Learn class with Ooodles of bubbles during Parachute Time, starting with our Babies class?
Of course they are fun, but they're so much more.
For our littlest friends, it's a fascinating way to support the development of eye tracking, as they watch the bubbles float around them. Their brains are learning, as their eyes work together to focus on and follow the bubbles.
We're so much more than fun.

What makes superheroes so popular?

Superheroes are often characters who overcome adversity and use their powers to make a positive impact on the world.

Pretending to be a brave superhero helps children feel more comfortable trying new activities and experiences, and helps them develop self-confidence.

At Gymboree Play & Music, we give your child a safe place to develop skills, try new things and test their limits, while being supported by their superhero - a loved grown-up. Your cape is optional.

Trying something new can sometimes be overwhelming for young children, especially if they are more of an "observer" than a "joiner".
That's why we have always included parents (or other important adults) in our classes. Having their "grownup" with them gives little ones the confidence to explore, try new things and interact with new people. Our safe environment, friendly teachers and welcoming community make their first class a fun, magical experience for both of you.
