It’s important to give our children an opportunity to move. Through play they are able to also exercise, bettering their minds and bodies. Power Tots aims to do exactly that.
By offering young children a combination of gymnastics, yoga, and dance, they are offering kids an opportunity to build up their self-confidence and a way to have fun while also exercising. Their business opportunity is also very flexible, making it possible for their franchisees to work where the kids are so they don’t need a physical location.
I recently spoke with Kelly Sorenson, the director of Power Tots, to learn a little more about the business and their franchise opportunity.
Tell us a little about Power Tots.
Power Tots is a unique traveling company that provides gymnastics, yoga and dance instruction to children. We travel to daycare centers, preschools, afterschool care, extended day programs or any other place that children may gather. We have a great progressive gymnastics curriculum that enables us to meet the needs of multiple levels of ability and rotating equipment so all aspects of gymnastics are explored. Our yoga and dance classes are catered to the children and their imaginations as they are the inspiration and guide in each class. Our whole company has been built on and embraces the philosophy of “Believe in the Power of a Positive Attitude!”. In all of our classes we provide a fun and safe enviroment where we build self confidence through a positive attitude and nourish our bodies though the physical exercise.
