Riverdale Kids’ enriching and dynamic programs for children promote active living in a non competitive yet exciting environment. Our accomplished, highly qualified instructors provide exceptional leadership for children.

Riverdale Kids provides classes in Ballet, Soccer Skills, Multi Sport and Music that increase physical activity while developing a love of movement, sport, music and dance. We offer a wide variety of scheduling options to accommodate busy families’ schedules – kids can participate weekday mornings, lunch breaks, after school, or on weekends. Our mission is to increase the opportunities for preschool- and school-aged children to participate in organized classes that provide a foundation for a lifetime of active living.

Keeping children active:

• Enhances healthy growth and development
• Builds strong bones and strengthens muscles
• Promotes good posture, balance and maintains flexibility
• Improves fitness and strengthens the heart while helping to achieve and maintain a healthy weight
• Helps them meet new friends and improves physical self-esteem 

The 2009 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth reveals that children who are more physically active are also more academically fit, resulting in better scores in math and reading, higher grades, greater perceptual skill and overall academic readiness.

"Being active feeds the brain, giving active kids an academic advantage over their peers who are more sedentary,” says Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Active Healthy Kids Canada. “We've always known that physical activity is essential for kids' health and their long-term well-being. Now we know that it also improves school performance. A workout for your body is a workout for your brain.”
