POUND is Coming to WellKind (School-Agers!

Grown-ups, get ready—this is going to be POWERFUL.

We’re excited to share a new enrichment opportunity for our school-age before & after care young learners: POUND at WellKind School.

POUND is a high-energy, music-driven movement experience that uses lightweight Drumsticks to drum, tap, and move to the beat. Think: rhythm + fitness + confidence—all in one.

What is POUND?

POUND blends simple cardio, strength, and coordination moves with drumming. Young learners follow along with fun routines that feel like a dance party—while building real skills.

No prior experience needed. Just a willingness to move, try, and have fun.

How POUND supports our 7 Pillars of Wellness

At WellKind, we’re always asking: How does this help the whole child? POUND fits beautifully into our WellKind World approach because it strengthens multiple pillars at once.

• Healthy Lifestyle: Gets bodies moving, builds stamina, and supports strong hearts and muscles.

• Brain Building: Improves focus, listening, memory, and sequencing as learners follow rhythm patterns and routines.

• Emotional Growth: Offers a healthy outlet for big feelings—movement + music can reduce stress and boost mood.

• Relationships: Builds teamwork, turn-taking, and positive group energy as learners move together.

• Purpose & Passion: Helps young learners discover what they’re good at and feel proud of their progress.

• Gratitude & Appreciation: Encourages celebrating effort, growth, and the joy of movement.

• Environmental Impact: We’ll connect the experience to respectful use of shared materials, caring for our space, and being mindful of how our energy affects others.
