About GymbaROO
Philosophy
Humans are unique because of our capacity for cortical intellectual functions.
For the human cortical brain to read, understand the spoken languange, follow and sequence information, walk, run, talk, write and spell, we are dependent on a good foundation at the brain stem level.
The brain stem consists of the medulla, pons, cerebellum and midbrain.
The focus of the Toddler Kindy GymbaROO program is to promote parent education.

Sessions include a wide range of fun sensory stimulation and motor opportunity activities with...
History
Toddler Kindy GymbaROO’s adventures with development and learning began 30 years ago when Margaret Sassè co founded ANSUA, (A New Start For the Under Achiever) in Melbourne.
The work of ANSUA focused on helping children who were struggling with learning at school.
Ten years into working as the Director of ANSUA, Margaret Sassè had insights that the problems these children were facing could be picked up and corrected when they were younger.
In 1982, Toddler Kindy GymbaROO, was launched as a preventative parent education, fun, learning centre specializing in developmental education for babies 6 weeks to 5 year olds.
