Jane has been teaching her Stretch n grow class in Minerva since we opened almost 11 years ago. It has been the most wonderful Asset to our curriculum. Janes ability to teach is truly unique. The children are captivated and we often comment on how much the children love and look forward to the class every week. They learn so much through brilliant, well structured and carefully thought out songs and dance which really gets their heart rate going. Stretch n grow is the one extra curricular activity we have in Minerva and the one thing I will never give up as I see the amazing benefits every week. Thankyou so much Jane for everything .

We have worked with Jane and Stretch and Grow for many years. The children at Ashgrove from Play school right through to Afterschool love the classes which are tailor made to suit their age and developmental needs. Jane and her instructors make each class fun and teach the children so many valuable lessons about their body, nutrition and how to exercise together. We love Thursday mornings with Stretch and Grow
Thank you Jane
