5-Day Kids on Wheels programs for daycares & preschools!
We come to the daycares with our skilled instructors and with balance bikes and helmets. The children ride balance bikes on a fun and interactive course, which we change every day.
The children practice stopping, balancing and gliding, they pump up tubes in our mechanic’s corner and play games. We also read books and create art projects about biking. The children also learn basic road signs and safety rules of the road. On Friday, we usually end the week with a bike celebration with the parents!

Testimonials
The Kids on Wheels program was exceptional, from the first meeting with Maya to the implementation of the hands on program! All of the activities were suitable for all levels of our children's abilities. The staff were knowledgeable and confident in the lessons . The children LOVED the program!
Suzy MacPherson, Preschool Teacher, 2019
Our children had a lot of fun during the week you were all here. They were definitely exhausted at the end of each day! Even those who already knew how to bike were able to enjoy using the balance bikes to go through the different courses.
Livia Lee, Preschool Teacher, Spare Time Treehouse Preschool, 2019
We absolutely love your program and everything you offered to our children. It was so organized and well done.

The families and children loved the program! (and so did staff!) It was great to see the children grow so much in such a short amount of time.

Bumble Bear Daycare, 2018
Our children improved their gross and fine motor skills through the fun interactive activities that Kids on Wheels Program implemented. I observed children's self-esteem develop over the week as their confidence and strength developed as they faced new challenges.

Eagles in the Sky Daycare, 2016
The program did not stop outdoors with children’s use of the balance bikes, but continued inside with arts and crafts that connected the teachings from the outdoor session with children’s own reflections and, at the same time, joy and a sense of well-being for all involved.
