Elliott’s Classes was founded with the belief that children’s movement classes can be a fun way to have a meaningful impact on a child’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. They offer gymnastics, dance, art and a preschool alternative program. Developed by Elliott Cortez, Ph.D., a child psychologist and former gymnast, “The Elliott Method,” combines movement science with child development theory (CDT) for children ages 6 weeks through 14 years.  By considering a child’s perspective, their classes have been designed to not only enhance our students’ development, but to enrich other areas of their lives such as learning, speech, listening skills and social behavior. Elliott’s program is success-based rather than skills-based, thereby applauding a child’s willingness to simply attempt challenges.
