FUN BUS Focuses on School Readiness
The practice and application of FUN BUS lesson plans promote school readiness with children in a FUN active educational setting. As children develop gross motor skills they become more prepared for a variety of physical and academic activities. Children should have plenty of experience using gross motor skills long before they are asked to use fine motor skills. Children with good balance and basic coordination have an easier time acquiring fine motor skills, as well as an easier time participating in physical activities at school and home.
We provide FUN, Fitness and Learning on wheels for preschools, daycares, parties and more!

Frequently Asked Questions - General
FUN BUS is a mobile fitness "gym on wheels!" We bring the FUN and fitness directly to children ages 18mos - 7yrs in a full size refurbished BRIGHT GREEN school bus. Parents and educators LOVE the convenience of FUN BUS and children have a blast jumping, climbing, and learning - all without realizing they are getting a workout.
We provide structured fitness classes led by two FUN Instructors that consist of warm ups, stretching, cardio, music, dance, obstacle courses, group games, tumble skills and more. The Children are engaged in FUN the entire session long!
The FUN BUS parks on the street, driveway or parking lot. There must be 4 parking spots saved when we arrive and we must not be blocked in by other cars. There also must be a large enough double wide long driveway if not parked on the road or in a parking lot. Driver will assess upon arrival and has final say if it is safe to park. Obstacles like bushes, trees and fences may be a deciding factor. We usually park along the sidewalk in front of your house (school, church, park, etc). Party hosts typically reserve space for the bus by 1) parking their own cars in that space or 2) marking off the area with cones, chairs, large plastic toys, etc. We need approximately 50 feet of somewhat level space to park.
We try to arrive 10-15 minutes before FUN BUS activities are scheduled to start. Upon our arrival, one of our staff members will greet you, answer any questions and set up the bus. We may ask for your help with nametags, especially with younger guests.
One or two parents are welcome at the front of the bus at any given time. We ask that they remain at the front of the bus unless special circumstances need to be considered. It is also not necessary for any adults to remain on the bus, if they prefer not to do so. Two adults only are allowed in the drivers quiet area. Guests parents are welcome to come out for pictures at the end of the session or party.
Shoes are worn at all times for health and safety reasons. No flipflops or CROCS!
Yes! With an onboard generator powering multiple AC/heating units, we're able to provide a comfortable atmosphere regardless of season!
