About County Kids Club

We started with a simple question: what if Prince Edward County had a community-run space where young kids could move, play, and grow together?

Our first program launched in 2025 — a Saturday morning movement class for preschoolers and early graders. The response blew us away. Kids came alive, parents stayed and cheered, and what started as a gym class quickly became a community gathering place.

Now we're expanding. County Kids Club is growing into a multi-program club with opportunities across movement and fitness, STEM, nature exploration, and more — all run by local people who care deeply about the kids and families in our community.

As a registered Not-for-Profit Corporation, we keep costs as low as possible, rely on local volunteers and subject-matter experts to run each program, and design everything around one core belief: every kid deserves access to great programs right here in PEC.

Meet the Founding Team

County Kids Club was started by four local parents, coaches, and community members who saw a gap and decided to fill it. We organize and run the club, and recruit passionate local experts to lead each individual program.

Jess
Jessica Santos
Sports and movement have always brought me joy, connection, and confidence. As a mom to an active 3-year-old, I noticed there were few places for young kids to explore movement in a fun, supportive way. Our community deserves more opportunities like this, and I'm excited to help create them.
Lara
Lara Hilmi
Lara has a lifelong connection to sport that fuels her passion for helping children discover the joy and benefits of movement. She believes deeply in the power of sport as a way to build confidence, leadership, and lasting friendships. When not chasing after her 3 boys, she's running and cycling along the Millennium Trail.
Mike
Michael Da Silva
A lifelong fitness enthusiast who loves seeing kids move, grow, and push their limits. A former die-hard skateboarder turned cyclist, runner, soccer, and volleyball player. Passionate about longevity, healthy living, and building strong communities. Find him at the local Repair Cafés and Kids of Steel events.
Rob
Robert Spagnola
Sport and physical activity have always been central to Rob's life. As a former athlete, youth sports coach, personal trainer, and owner of The Gym in the Armoury, he brings expertise and genuine enthusiasm to every group he leads.
