The Kids in Motion Center is Designed With the Child and the Family in Mind
We Work to Maximize Your Kid's Potential

The Kids in Motion center has been custom designed to mirror the experiences that the typically developing child encounters within his or her community.
In an environment rooted in respect and compassion, we strive to nourish each child's spirit and provide a protective space for him or her to grow.
