The Genesis of Our Playful Journey
Our journey began with our founder, Dale Sidebottom, whose unique background as a primary and high school teacher and personal trainer led to an epiphany. He discovered the immense potential of play-based learning and fitness. It wasn't just about creating fun activities; it was about transforming learning, movement, and life experiences into something joyful and engaging. In 2017, Dale took a leap of faith, leaving his teaching career to fully commit to his vision. He believed, and has since proven, that specially designed play-based programs can significantly enhance mental and physical well-being for people of all ages.
Our Mission: Empowering Through Play
Our mission is bold yet simple: to build robust, autonomous health and well-being skills in children, adults, and families. We recognise that life is full of unexpected twists and turns. That's why we are committed to equipping individuals with the tools they need to thrive in any situation, through innovative play-based interventions and research.
