IMC KIDS GYM — Local services in Montclair

Our two boys (3 and 5) LOVE the IMC Kids Gym - and we have seen such positive impacts on their self confidence and willingness to try new things as a result of these classes! Our now-kindergartener has been going for two years and initially started a little rough - shy, nervous, outright refusing to go in without a parent to cling to.
