Brain growth is stimulated by use for children between the ages of two and six, with completion of development by the age of seven. A program of physical activity into a child’s life can strongly influence the process of brain growth and neurological organization. Classes offered for youth are specifically designed to stimulate intellectual growth as well as physical development. Our programs ensure that each child gets the opportunity to achieve his or her potential.
