What do you love about KidsGroove?
“KidsGroove is specifically designed to help support the child’s existing therapy goals. Through exciting movement and rhythm lessons, the children will work on gross/fine motor skills, strength and flexibility, receptive/expressive language, social skills, motor planning, body control and awareness, memory and recall skills, focus, coordination, musicality, self-expression and so much more. I believe movement is for everyone. My love and passion for dance extends to my love of seeing the students smile and fall in love with dance themselves”.

‘’My son has been participating in KidsWish programs for a few years now, he is normally a shy boy and rarely would engage with the other kids, but since joining these inclusive programs he was able to move away from his shyness and be himself. He has made lifelong friends and really enjoys attending each week’’

"We find KIDSWISH a program that's inclusive for ALL where each child can interact and not be judged based on their individual personality or abilities. Everyone is treated with respect and dignity".

"Aidan gets extremely excited and has a great deal of fun attending his after school and sports programs. We mainly deal with Beth who is an absolute asset to your organisation. She is extremely dedicated, caring, and compassionate".".
