Gymboree Play & Music has been providing childhood development programs for young children and their parents for 30 years. Gymboree�s core belief is that children should develop at their own pace via physical, mental and creative activities in a fun environment�with their parents by their side. Parents and children participate at a level that is appropriate for their age and development. Gymboree now offers innovative programs like Mommy and Baby Yoga, Baby Signs, yoga for toddlers and big kids, music and art from around the world and a drop-off class for older children. There are more than 500 Gymboree locations in 27 countries.

Gymboree franchisees have access to a wide selection of branded consumer products for resale, and gain a competitive advantage in synergy opportunities with Gymboree children�s clothing stores.
