The Kindermotion program utilizes movement to increase a child’s ability to be successful in the passion they pursue such as sports, fitness, the arts, etc. The thrill of movement, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle should start when they are young. Kindermotion hopes to instill that excitement in all our students. That Place, hosting Kindermotion LLC offers 3 of these unique classes from the Kindermotion franchise.
Kindergym® is designed to provide boys and girls, ages 3-5, with fun activities including floor gymnastics, tumbling, acrobatics, gross motor development, and movement education. Music appreciation and academic readiness skills are incorporated into each activity as our Kindergym® instructors work to build each child’s self-esteem and independence. Mats, low safe beams, and obstacle courses are utilized throughout the curriculum. The proper timing and use of this program should enhance the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of the children while building their sense of self and others.
Kindermotion is a developmentally designed education through motor skills, physical development, fitness, nutrition, and imagery program that prepares students’ minds and bodies for athletic and academic pursuits. Kindermotion also strengthens communication and leadership abilities in boys and girls in a social and fun environment. The program focuses on the mind/body connection while building self-confidence and self-esteem. Children ages 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 will be strengthening multiple muscle groups including their core, back, arms, and legs. Participants will also have opportunities to increase their hand-eye and foot-eye coordination skills with the use of equipment, props and other tools. Leadership abilities grow through age-appropriate activities and games designed to promote critical thinking, teamwork, and self-esteem. Participants will also learn about healthy foods and practices that can be easily implemented into daily life.
The final class That Place will teach is Kids Yoga. Kids Yoga for ages 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 is a developmentally designed yoga practice using a playful and fun approach to maximize young children’s learning process. When participating in Yoga, children learn life-long abilities that positively impact their lives as they increase self-regulation, which in turn, facilitates their well-being and positive social interactions. Kids Yoga is an appropriate venue for complementing and supporting the education process; especially in schools where anti- bullying, health and wellness, and character education are common themes today. In Kids Yoga, children learn the foundations of yoga through storytelling, creative imagery, music, songs, speech, and communication, use of props, and creative movement in a non-religious and non-spiritual manner. The program aims to build children’s self- confidence, self-esteem, and self-expression as they develop muscular strength and flexibility, balance, coordination, and mental focus. The practice of mindfulness and conscious breathing are incorporated to enhance the development of mind and body connection as we nurture the process of self-regulation, stress management, and relaxation.
The Kindermotion Franchise and Programs of Kindermotion, Kindergym and Kids Yoga was developed by the Kinderdance International Inc. They were brought together under the name of a Kindermotion Franchise for those seeking a non-dance business. All of our programs have an educational approach with, Motor Development, Gymnastics, and Fitness programs blended with numbers, colors, shapes, words, and songs for children ages 3-12, taught on-site in child care facilities and other viable locations.
Kristie, could you tell our readers a little about yourself. How did you come up with the idea of That Place Hosting Kindermotion LLC?
I was born in Louisiana and raised between Louisiana and Texas. I joined the military before I turned 17 years old. Over the course of more than a decade as an enlisted Army Medic and later as a Logistics Officer, my service took me across the globe, where I managed all classes of supply and supported both peacetime and combat operations. This extensive experience in logistics and leadership provides me with valuable skills that I excitedly now bring to my new endeavors.
Following my military career, I transitioned into in-home childcare and have become an active member of my church’s congregation and childcare staff. My passion for nurturing young children and teaching them emotional regulation and awareness have been a driving force in my life. I have always been passionate about nurturing the interests of young children and teaching them kindness, compassion and confidence. My entrepreneurial spirit has been with me since 2008, and the Kindermotion franchise just fell into my heart by way of a google search (rabbit hole) one day. I felt it would give me the perfect opportunity to blend my love for working with children with a flexible career that supports a better work / life balance for me and my Family.
I am thrilled to be part of the Kindermotion family and excited to bring these wonderful programs to Colorado. I am a single mother to two children, 16-year-old Brianna and 3.5-year-old Brecken and they are my whole world. I wholeheartedly understand the struggles of working Families and their desire to ensure their children are progressing academically, physically and mentally.
As it is a relatively new concept in CO, did you have any difficulty getting clients? How long does it take you to teach each class?
In any new business concept, the difficulty is getting clients to see and understand what the company is actually doing or providing. Not many people have heard of Kindermotion here but this is an international company presently taught in thousands of locations in the USA and around the world. We offer demonstration and trial classes that present a sampling of each of the classes we teach. Our classes range from 30-60 minutes per week and are offered multiple times and days each week. Our tuition ranges are from $50-60 per month per child and we offer a sibling discount. Our specials will be priced separately.
We hope that our mission to give Families an affordable and unique enrichment opportunity helps to strengthen our community and enhance the lives of our children by teaching to the whole child, developing self-esteem, self-confidence and lasting friendships.
