Gymboree Play & Music, Sandy Springs

Gymboree Play & Music, Sandy Springs is a music school in Sandy Springs, GA. The school serves infants through preschoolers, with classes organized by age: infants (0-8 months) explore the senses and support visual and auditory development; babies (6-18 months) build strength and self-esteem through play; toddlers (10-28 months) develop problem-solving skills through interactive games, play, and music; and preschoolers (22 months to 5 years) work on skills for preschool and kindergarten alongside time for play and creativity.

The program began in 1976 with the idea of stretching a child's rapidly developing mind and body to prepare them for life. Gymboree Play & Music centers on the first three years of life, a period when 80% of the brain's neural connections are formed, and designs classes that nurture that stage. Their approach rests on research-based programs created by experts in early childhood development, a child-led philosophy that builds on each child's own abilities, and proprietary equipment built to create challenges that inspire learning. Activities are organized by age and incorporate movement, music, dance, art, and sensory play, and the school also books private, personalized parties filled with child-friendly activities.

The school sits on Roswell Rd NE in a building that places it directly on Roswell Road, with Fountain Oaks about a tenth of a mile away, the North Fulton Training Center roughly a fifth of a mile off, and Liberty Guinn School within a fifth of a mile. Mount Paran Road Northeast is about half a mile from the location.

The school holds a rating of 4.30. Its work with young children in the Sandy Springs area reflects a long-running focus on the earliest years of development.
