Paddington Kindy Sweet Hearts
On Sweet Heart Day-14th February 2017

It was a different kind of romance for Kids Heart Pilates owner Liz Dawson this Valentine’s Day, as she limbered up for a good cause with 50 children from Paddington Kindy to raise money for Childhood Heart Disease.

Whilst traditionally 14th February is reserved for lovers, it also marks Sweet Heart Day, dedicated to raising money for Childhood Heart Disease (CHD), the leading cause of death in children under 12 months.  (www.sweetheartday.org.au)

Eight babies are born every day with a heart defect a statistic that will only change with vital support and funding for life changing medical research into CHD.

Kids Heart Pilates owner, Liz Dawson, personally baked blueberry cakes for the occasion and enjoyed serving them to 50 of her pilates kids and parents for a gold coin donation.

“Now that I am pregnant with my first child and teaching these very healthy children Pilates every week, I realise how very precious our children’s health is.

“With the help of C&K Paddington Kindy and my fantastic pilates kids we sweetened their day whilst raising money for this worthy cause. I just hope the kids don’t always expect a cake at the end of our pilates class,” she laughs.

Kids Heart Pilates is an official part of the C&K Paddington Kindergarten curriculum addressing many aspects of Early Childhood Curriculum, including motor development, expanding learning techniques via movement and creating awareness self wellbeing.

Secondly, and just as significantly, the 30 minute class creates strong and healthy bodies for enhanced motor development, movement skills, core stabilization and injury prevention.
