Wings,
Inc. started in 1974 and
was located in Garden City, Idaho in a 1,600 square foot space. By 1980, it
had outgrown that space and in 1981 Wings moved near the site of where the
Boise Towne Square Mall is today. In 1986 the company relocated to its
present location just off the freeway near Cole and Overland Roads.
The business originally opened
solely as a gymnastics school, but during the 1990’s it evolved into a Sports
Instruction, Entertainment and Education center. Wings Center began with 16 gymnasts
and has grown to over 3,000+ weekly customer visits.
Sports instruction classes
feature Preschool Motor Education, Gymnastics, Cheerleading and Swimming.
Educational Preschool, full-day Child Care, Afterschool and Day Camp
programs are available year around. Entertainment offerings include Planet
Kid (indoor soft play), the Boise Rock Gym for indoor climbing and team
building, and hosting various group events throughout the year. Wings
also hosts many special events such as Clinics, Competitions, Seminars,
Parent Night Out, New Years' Eve Overnighter, and Student Recitals. Wings
maintains a vehicle fleet to transport children to and from childcare
centers and private schools for classes, as well as for its own Before &
Afterschool and Daycamp programs. This dynamic growth has been due to excellent
staff, outstanding curriculum development, re-investment in facilities and
equipment, and most of all, careful attention to the progress of each
individual!
The Wings
Center has become a national model for full-service Children's Learning
and Opportunity Centers and has been widely emulated across the United
States. Wings also operates a gymnastics program at the Nampa Recreation Center.
Plans for the future include expanding all programs on nearby real estate
and also to continue community partnerships in our various activity
programs. |
