＜GYMBABES＞
	"I wanted my son to play with children of the same age and Tumble Tots groups children of similar ages together. Also the equipment is very bright and colorful and children like that. What surprises me with my son, is that he tries to do something different everytime." (1 year 5 mths)
	"My daughter used to cry every time she met strangers. Tumble Tots introduced my daughter to new people and new faces in a warm friendly environment. Now my daughter smiles a lot and she loves to dance along to her favourite Tumble Tot CD." (1 year 4 mths)

＜Walking - 2＞
	"We looked for an active childrens class where my daughter could also learn English and physical play. Tumble Tots was ideal. Very slowly my daughter is starting to understand basic English and now she is far more active in play than some of her peers. We like Tumble Tots even though, it takes us an hour to travel to the centre" (1 year 10mths)

＜2-3 years＞
	"My daughter had a few friends but she was very shy around them. I decided to enroll her in Tumble Tots to help her overcome this and now she is far more confident and outgoing. She even sings songs in English quite naturally" (3 years 2 mths)
	"My daughter had a dislike of slopes and steps. She always used to sit and watch her friends in the park climb the equipment but she was a little hesitant to try herself. Now, since joining Tumble Tots, she wants to try as many activities as possible, both in her sessions and the park, and she looks more confident in her abilities." ( 3 years 3 mths)
	"My daughter always relied on me to help her but now she is more independent and doesn't need my help so often. She has learned to "take turns, wait for her friends and to be positive". I am really happy with Tumble Tots" (3 years)
	"My son was lacking some kind of rhythmic activity and I thought Tumble Tots was a good opportunity to introduce music to him in a fun way. Tumble Tots equipment is bright and colorful and every time we sing songs and do rhymes. This is one reason why I chose Tumble Tots. My son is starting to understand English more and more every time he attends class. " (2 years 6 mths)

＜3-6 years＞
	"My son was quite shy and a little hesitant to try new things in the playground. He also didn't understand or speak any English. Since coming to Tumble Tots, I have noticed that he is more eager to try different things and more confident in himself. He has learned some English and he enjoys Tumble Tots a lot." (4 years)
	"After returning to Japan from some time spent overseas, we wanted to maintain our son`s English level. I decided to enroll him in Tumble Tots as the sessions are conducted in English only. I have found that he is more confident in his English abilities and also in himself." (5 years)
	"My daughter has very few friends in our neighbourhood and she had little chance to get out and play outside and because of this, I felt she lacked physical activity of some type. I tried Tumble Tots and found that my daughter is more positive in her character and more independent PLUS she is doing physical activity and enjoying it." ( 5 years 7 mths)
