Kori chappell/owner-n-director

Hi! I'm coach Kori, the owner/director of Stretch-n-Grow of Phoenix. I am an Arizona native and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from Ottawa University. I am certified in Youth Fitness from Stretch-n-Grow International and am Infant/Child CPR and First Aid certified as well.

I have a passion for working with children and have done so for the past twenty five years in a variety of capacities, including teaching kindergarten through second grade, volunteering in youth ministries at church, serving as a classroom mom, and working with children who have special needs.

I am dedicated and committed to educating children about the importance and benefits of regular exercise, proper nutrition, and establishing healthy habits at a young age.
