Developing motor skills and flexibility early in life gives kids a leg up in careers such as acrobatics, dancing, and Gumby impersonation. Keep your child's options open with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a 30-day membership to Junebug's Gym in Pleasure Point (a $50 value). The $25 registration fee normally levied for new memberships is waived for the duration of this Groupon, but it will apply for customers who decide to continue their memberships.

Owned and operated by preschool-education and acrobatics veteran June Ralston, Junebug's Gym focuses on gymnastics and motor development for kids. With a 30-day membership, tots take part in once-weekly, 45- to 55-minute structured play sessions divided by age and motor development, allowing them to frolic through the colorful, kid-friendly space. Junebug's classes are appropriate for a broad variety of kids, from those who have just graduated from crawling to those who are 8 years old and dunking basketballs three at a time. Safety and cleanliness are stressed in the gym, which carries independent liability insurance and steadfastly refuses admittance to all monsters, bogeymen, and evil leprechauns.
