Glenn has three children himself and understands the importance of coordinated physical activity and how beneficial it can be to the development of young minds and bodies.
Today, more and more children from Preschools, Daycares, Early Learning Centre and Kindergartens are enjoying the Kindy Tennis programs.
To this day, the best barometer of success is the feedback heard as children first experience Kindy Tennis. Invariably, the kids have a great time and it’s clear to parents, teachers and host organizations that the structured activities provide enrichment on several levels.
