KidStrong was founded in 2015 by Matt and Megin Sharp in Lexington, Kentucky, after their daughter Ella struggled with confidence and physical activity. Their mission to help her grow stronger led them to partner with child development experts and create a curriculum rooted in the Whole Child Philosophy. This approach emphasizes three pillars: Strong Character, Strong Body, and Strong Mind. Each class uses games, puzzles, and physical challenges to foster mental toughness, creativity, and teamwork. The program’s success is reflected in reported outcomes: 96% of participants see increased self-confidence, 88% show improved social skills, and 85% find KidStrong more enjoyable than other children’s programs. Parents are actively involved, with opportunities to cheer from the sidelines and witness their child’s growth firsthand.
