Ridgewood NJ, The big question mark hanging over parents heads this summer is dreadful: will schools re-open in the fall? So far, it doesn’t look good. Which is why moms and dads are searching furiously for programs and activities to fill the gaps. Just as important as tutoring and online education, numerous studies have found, is physical and mental fitness. And a new program based in NJ is here to help. Elite Method, created by NJ residents Michael and Rachel Dube, is a concierge-like service that matches kids up with private coaches for activities that range from sports, exercises, challenges, games and other activities to keep kids outside and away from distractions. This combination of both “mind and body” coaching has been proven to improve physical and mental health, cognitive abilities, self-esteem and social skills.
