Kids, like tomatoes, grow on their own and bruise when squeezed too hard with a set of tongs. Today’s Groupon lets you coddle your human tomatoes: for $39, you get a one-month membership with waived initiation fee plus unlimited open-gym attendance at Gymboree Play & Music (up to a $134 total value). This Groupon is redeemable for learning-filled fun at one of three San Diego–area locations, choose from Clairemont Mesa (up to a $130 value), Solana Beach (up to a $134 value), or Scripps Poway (up to a $130 value).

Gymboree offers a bounty of baby-engaging classes in which parents and wee ones work together to build the tot's creativity and encourage development through play. Weekly classes are available for the freshly born sapling to the 5-years-young wise wanderer. This deal includes rhythm-building music classes, imagination-expanding art classes, and Gymboree's most popular class, Play & Learn. The one-month membership allows you to take one class per week, with makeups available if you miss a class. This deal also includes unlimited attendance at Gymboree's open-gym sessions (contact location for schedule). Additionally, Groupon buyers also get $50 discount toward a children's birthday party at the Solana Beach location.

One Groupon must be purchased for each child, and each child must be accompanied by an adult (but more than one adult is welcome). The 45-minute classes help to build an everlasting bond that will feel like being tethered to each other with Ethernet cable. Bond with your baby or exercise child-like energy in a public forum.

This deal is not valid for toys or School Skills classes. Valid for new families and currently enrolled families to add an additional class to existing enrollment.

• The layout and the safety padding they have all over the facility is great and it really brings out the fun of learning for the kids. I highly recommend this to all families. – JNadene A., Clairemont location, 11/10/10
• The teachers are well-trained and able to communicate with kids of all ages. I feel very comfortable having them interact with my daughter. – Jennifer H., Solana Beach location, 7/23/10
