Stretch-n-Grow is a comprehensive fitness program for kids. We are committed to helping educators and parents establish a foundation of exercise and proper nutrition at an early age, before habits gel. The Stretch-n-Grow program teaches children the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle. With weekly emphasis on exercise and good food choices, our extensive curriculum covers virtually every wellness issue...self-esteem, safety, hygiene, and environmental issues are just a few examples of our discussion topics. Classes are taught at child care centers by Stretch-n-Grow coaches who make exercising, "EXERciting!!" Since 1992, hundreds of thousands of children across the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Guatemala, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain and the United Kingdom have participated in the Stretch-n-Grow Fitness Program!!

 My name is Teresa Brenke and I am the owner of Stretch-n-Grow of the SW metro. I am a certified Youth Fitness Instructor. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I have over 100 college credits with an emphasis in Fitness and Nutrition. I have owned and taught Stretch-n-Grow since February of 1993 plus have the experience of raising three of my own children. We have worked with over 500 facilities in the metropolitan area, teaching thousands of children how to have fun with exercising. I am fully insured to conduct classes in your child care setting. I love creating fun and interesting ways to teach children about healthy habits. My favorite part of teaching is hearing the feedback from parents and providers about how this program is positively affecting children’s lives and listening to the children’s interesting perspective on life. I am dedicated to building a solid fitness and nutrition foundation in a fun, exciting and safe atmosphere.
