Fun Activities for pre-school kids aged 3- 5 yrs old. Growing with Gratitude offers a fun filled & educational Multi-Sports program that uses sports & psychology principles to build life long skills
Growing With Gratitude Multi-Sports was so much more holistic to any other sports program we've done. The movement and skills component was high quality and my son enjoyed this greatly. But, the opportunity for positive reflection, practising kindness and gratitude was so beneficial in initiating some thought practices, which will hopefully continue. Highly recommend! - Jane - Mum of Charlie

My son loves GWG Multi-sports. The team do a great job engaging the kids. We are most impressed with the gratitude, kindness & positive reflection included in the sessions. My son for the first time is starting to say thank you's for the things we do around the house for him. Along with learning sports skills, it's a great program. Highly recommend ~ Rodney - Dad of Spencer
We love the gratitude side to Growing With Gratitude Multi-Sports. At home we often refer back with our son on what he learnt about gratitude at the session. Great way of combining sports practice and gratitude practice. The sports activities are great fun too, even for us adults. ~ Alice - Mum of Angus

Growing With Gratitude Multi-sports is the Ultimate Way To Introduce
Fundamental Movement & Skills and Positive Education Habits To Your Child
Growing With Gratitude Multi-sports is the Ultimate Way To Introduce Fundamental Movement & Skills and Positive Education Habits To Your Child
Our unique approach is aimed at 3 - 5 year old pre-school children. We combine fundamental movement and skill development, as well as positive psychology principles in a fun and engaging way. The great news is, like learning a skill in a sport we can also learn gratitude, kindness, positive reflection and serving others, the key building blocks to resilience and happiness. Why not teach them young? However, to develop physical and social & emotional skills we MUST allow (particularly young children) time to practice.
That’s why we’ve created a NEW way to help you develop your child’s fundamental skills & movement, as well as planting the seed to learn habits of gratitude, kindness, positive reflection & serving others. Our goal is to create a fun, energetic environment not only for the children, but also for adults. In fact, parents are asked to join in and support their child and help guide them during our sessions.
