Love everything but would appreciated the ability to roll over one credit from month to month, sometimes cancellations have to happen at the last minute due to illness and there might not be another class available to take before the end of the month

Everything’s great there. I love the coach’s and the way they communicate with the kids and the classes are very flexible.

About 8 times out of 10, we're in the class that allows parent participation so our opinion may be skewed. In those classes with parents the class is very well organized and the coaches make the kids feel seen and capable. My daughter looks forward to hearing the coaches instructions and demonstrating that she can be strong and hit the goal. It's wonderful to watch her but we also see other kids who started off so very shy, gaining more and more confidence to try the challenges and interact kindly with other kids. I truly hope my daughter ends up in kindergarten with some of these kids who have learned more patience, respect and supportive behavior towards their peers. I think the parents have also received some practice in coaching kids through kidstrong principles and I wouldn't mind interacting with these families in other environments as well.The older classes can be hit or miss. The coaches are still obviously doing their best but we've been in some classes we're the kids are disruptive and the parents don't even watch. So a kid who is not as big, aggressive, or impolite gets run over while trying to listen to the coaches and it messes with their ability to enjoy their time or continue to feel like they can handle the class. I assume it's also not easy for the coaches to enforce the age limits when a kid is so comfortable in a class but has had a birthday in the last couple of months that ages them out. I think there just has to be a third coach or a different combination of coaches who some of the bigger/less-kind kids respect or respond to differently.Otherwise, we love it and expect to do it again with our younger kids who can participate in the 0-4 classes. We've done many other classes that are really just a free for all and perfectly fine for the cost. But I think this format gets kids coming out of daycare or homeschool ready for structured team activities and school settings.

We can't say enough good things about what Kid Strong has done for our three autistic sons! Ronan, Zealand and Gryffin absolutely love having Kid Strong in their lives!

I think the program is. Great!It teaches the children how to develop into decent human beings such as being taught how to work as a team. They are also given physical therapy. They play games that enhances their thinking. It is an excellent program.‘

KidStrong is a great place for kids to develop routines, discipline, problem resolution, partnership, teamwork. This program has helped my child to be more confident and independent. Thank you KidStrong!
