As a mum with a toddler who is constantly on the go I was looking for a place where my little one could burn off some energy and have fun at the same time. Coach Jessie’s Track Tots sessions have been a lifesaver! Coupled with my very demanding and busy job as a journalist it was important to find a place that was fun, engaging and safe for my little one to get rid of all her extra energy. My daughter absolutely loves it. Coach Jessie is warm, engaging, and always makes sure my little one is safe and having a blast. I highly recommend Track Tots to any parent looking for a fun and enriching activity for their child.

“My 4-year-old son was reluctant to go to nursery school one morning. But the mention of Coach Jessie and Track Tots being there quickly changed his mind. We’d been watching the Olympics so, he was doubly excited and ready to go in no time!”
