Our
Philosophy
The Little Gym’s philosophy is to promote the overall development of children in motor, social, and cognitive aspects through movement, music, and group games, in a fun, welcoming, family-friendly, and non-competitive environment. Everything is adapted to each child’s age!

Always Moving
Crawling, walking, running, and jumping. Flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination

Thinking in Action
Listening, following instructions, making decisions, problem-solving, creativity

Being Social
Making friends, sharing space and objects, respecting friends, knowing how to wait, cooperating
Our History, since 1976
Robin Wes is an innovative educator, musician, and kinesiologist who envisioned a welcoming and pressure-free place where children could explore their physical and emotional development.
The first The Little Gym opened in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, implementing the same positive and non-competitive spirit that characterizes us today.
In 2008, the brand opened its first unit in Portugal, in the city of Lisbon in Laranjeiras, and in 2022 opened its second unit in the city of Porto in Pinheiro Manso.
Currently, there are more than 450 The Little Gym locations worldwide.
