Summary

Observe a KidStrong class, and you'll see what looks like a child's dream playground. Kids climbing ropes, swinging from rings, crawling around obstacles. While you can immediately see that these kids are becoming physically stronger and more capable, they're also developing life skills that aren't immediately visible to the naked eye. KidStrong is a child development training center focused on brain, physical & character development for young children. Their curriculum is designed with the goal of promoting a strong body, strong brain, and strong character. Based on developmental science, they leverage knowledge from experts in the fields of pediatric occupational therapy, child development, sports physiology, and physical education to create a program focused on helping the entire family. Classes include physical activity, public speaking, affirmations and more.
