History – LONG!

The program was created in January of 1992 by Jill and Bob Manly in Galveston, Texas. Their plan was to conduct classes on a local level only. Response by children, parents, and child care providers was indeed exciting. Excitement over what they were doing resulted in requests from several people in other cities for more information. Within one year, expansion reached into 25 major U.S. markets; and in June 1993, Stretch-n-Grow became an "international influence" as they entered the Canadian market. After an intense study and the discovery of alarming statistics concerning the health status of American’s young children, the founders of Stretch-n Grow set out on their mission to change the course for children everywhere. Stretch-n-Grow has expanded to over 260 affiliates in cities across America, Australia, Canada, England, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, New Zealand and Spain, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Kenya and The Canary Islands.
