OUR COACHES
Finding the right mix of talent, energy, and dependability is no joke for directors. Stretch-n-Grow prioritizes our talent search and strives to be the BEST at attracting, training and retaining great talent to teach and coach your kids. Our schools RAVE about the impact our staff brings to their kids. Our staff is by far the best team in Catawba County!
OUR CURRICULUM
Our school partners have an amazing educational curriculum, but they know the benefits of out-sourcing their enrichment classes to Stretch-n-Grow. You want programs that line up with state and national standards and deliver the outcomes that parents expect and kids need. No matter what class experience our coaches are delivering, we aim to get kids moving – and that helps with focus, self-control, improved academic performance, and better health!
OUR CORE VALUES
Our values drive us to serve our school partners and families with uncompromising integrity and unmatched energy with an unswerving commitment to delivering the best programs in the best places by the best people. We are a faith-based, service-driven community of educators who value and honor the trust our customers place on us.
