Hopes to take kids' fitness programme into schools
OPERATORS of a fitness programme for children under seven are aiming to take their classes into schools by rolling out more franchises
Stretch n Grow, a holistic health and fitness programme for children from 18 months to seven years, offers children the opportunity to learn about healthy eating and exercise in after-school clubs and nurseries.
UK operations director Deno Davie said he is hoping those forced into redundancy or wanting their own business will be attracted to taking on a franchise, that can then be delivered within primary schools.

Urban dance kids sought for project
KIDS with a talent for urban dance are being scouted on the streets of Swindon and given coaching as part of a special project.
The scheme, run by the Youth Dance Academy, aims give gifted children the opportunity to pursue a professional career in dance and the weekly training sessions help them develop skills in styles including popping, street dance, b-boy, house dance, free styling and tricks.
Vicki Bailey, project manager, said: 'We have known for a long time that there is a need for specialised training, because there are a lot of different pathways out there for dance based careers, but nothing specific for urban performers.'
