🌟 Exciting News in Our Play-Based Curriculum! 🌟 We’re always looking for ways to enrich our play-based curriculum and foster essential skills in our young learners. Inspired by a recent conference session with child development expert Maggie Dent, we recognized a common challenge: many children start school unable to hang their own body weight—a skill fundamental for building strength, body awareness, and confidence. That’s why we’re thrilled to add monkey bars to our Small Fry classes for 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s! 🐒 These new additions aren’t just for fun—they provide endless developmental benefits, such as improving coordination, grip strength, problem-solving abilities, and resilience. With this equipment, we’re proud to support children’s physical and cognitive growth through play, helping them develop confidence and essential skills that set the foundation for lifelong learning. We can’t wait to see our little ones reach new heights—literally and figuratively! 💪🌈 #EarlyChildhoodEducation #PlayBasedLearning #ChildDevelopment #PhysicalActivity #Resilience #StrengthBuilding https://lnkd.in/gRuPrB7Z

Teacher appreciation isn’t just one week out of the year. Let’s support teachers all year long by showing up for them just as much as we show up for our students. Here are a few ways you can show your support as the new school year begins 🫶

We aren't sure what your days are like, but we help educators design their instruction for fun. It's actually enjoyable to us! We have found that helping teachers see how to use their standards and learning progressions to create units is so empowering! Not only that, but they can be absolutely sure it aligns with the standards to which they are held accountable! https://bit.ly/3UTlelu

Why we haven’t doubled in profit? 👀 Wow Future Stars Coaching LTD this photo popped up on our socials from 6 years ago. Lovely to see some old & familiar faces that helped us along our way on our 16 year journey from myself and a bag of balls on Day 1 🙏🏼 We’ve doubled in size since this photo, both in amount of staff and turnover. But we haven’t in Profit 😢 Here are some of the reasons why: ✅ We’ve firstly made it a career for our coaches and pay the most in our industry with a career pathway through our continuous growth. ✅ We’ve gone form 1 Coach Development Manager to now having 8. ✅ We now have a lead manager for every programme we deliver. ✅ The office team has doubled in size based on the amount of children we now work with to appease our customers needs. ✅ We’ve bought in an operations director and commercial director with huge experience. ✅ We’ve spent 2 years investing in our Franchsie offering and bought in someone to lead this. ✅ We’ve invested in a brand new bespoke Website & Booking System that has so far taken 18 months to develop and keep developing. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve all achieved over the years and continually standing out and being recognised by schools and parents for our quality and constant desire to learn and develop. You need good people to make a great organisation and that journey doesn’t end, I’m always recruiting even if we don’t have a current position, we will. We’ve created all of this so our franchisees can flourish and in year 1 have a profitable business using all our expertise at HQ. What a ride we’ve been on so far and I’ve never been more engaged or passionate to take this to the next level. We now have everything and everybody in the right places, however no doubt that will have developed again in the next 6 years ❤️

Want to encourage positive school behavior? When students meet performance criteria, like zero tardies or 100% homework completion, show up unexpectedly with treats in-hand on an unannounced day! Use it during periods when you notice that students are getting into a "slump" - we promise you'll see some positive results! #CultureChallenge #IdeaExchange #RenaissanceEducation

As we head back into a new school year, we are sharing a piece on our blog by Chance Las Dulce: “Shared Perspectives: Empowering Classroom Communities for Important Conversations”. “The most important component to the foundation of a classroom is an authentic and caring relationship with our students. To establish this, we need to re-imagine our classrooms and educational spaces.” Click through to read more. https://hubs.la/Q02LbQwc0
