    About Stretch-N-Grow

    Upon finding out that she was pregnant, fitness enthusiast Jill Manly began directing her attention to infant and early childhood fitness. Through her research, Manly discovered a lack of fitness in young children and decided to do something about it. In 1992, after developing a curriculum for her classes, Manly started Stretch-n-Grow in Galveston, Texas.
    Stretch-n-Grow has helped hundreds of people go into business for themselves while making a difference in the lives of children in their community since 1992!
