Parkettes are HERE!
2008 Pennsylvania Women's Level 10 State Champions
Parkettes Mission Statement
Parkettes are organized for the purpose of providing all boys and girls, regardless of age, financial, mental or physical ability, the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of gymnastics while becoming part of our family of athletes. Toward that end, the officers, directors, staff and volunteers are commited to:
Programs that cover the entire range of youth and their development, beginning with pre-school classes, with the opportunity for advancement to team programs through which young athletes may ultimately gain national, international and Olympic recognition.
Program for children who have special physical, mental or emotional needs so they may gain physical benefits and inner confidence through the sport of gymnastics.
An environment to experience the importance of physical fitness, including strength, balance, flexibility and coordination, and the value of a disciplined training regimen that enhances any athletic endeavor.
A learning experience with emphasis on the values of responsibility, competitiveness, dedication and goal setting, which can be retained throughout adulthood.
A community resource that promotes the Lehigh Valley by increasing its exposure nationally and internationally.
Exhibitions for schools, service organizations and community events to promote public awareness of the importance of physical fitness and to offer positive role models to aid in the social development of area youth.
The resources to aid young gymnasts striving for a berth on the Olympic Team, a college scholarship or simply valuable self-esteem.
Providing an oppurtunity for all young athletes to reach the Parkettes' goal - "to be the best you can be."
Stop in the office for registration questions!

Rocking Chair needed!
Do you have an extra Rocking chair at home that you want to get rid of?
We are looking for a rocking chair to help rock our infants to sleep.
If you are interested in donating it to
Next Level Development call Ms. Anastasia or Ms. Tiffany at 610-439-1779
New Software!
Dear Parents;
Starting Monday January 2nd 2008 Next Level Development is happy to announce we will be using a new sign in and out process. Every family will need to sign their child in and out using our new computer program located in the lobby area. We are asking all parents to use our new system when you drop off and pick up your child.
The new computer program was put in for security and safety purposes. With this new computer program we will be able to know who is in the building at all times, who needs any updated forms, if a child needs any immunizations, and so much more. If your child is being picked up by someone other than yourself, please have them speak with an administrator to help them sign in/out your child.
An administrator will help you with the new sign in/out process, and go over how to use our new child care manager program. Please allow a couple extra minutes in the morning for our demonstration. The computer software program is run by codes. Every parent as well as the people on your contact list will have their own code. We used the last four digits of cell phones.
If you have any question about our new computer program or your code does not work, please see Ms. Anastasia or Ms. Tiffany.
Thank you for your cooperation,
NLD Administration
