With prohibitive costs in employment. Why Nursery Chains Benefit from Using Stretch‑n‑Grow as an Independent Contractor
When a nursery chain chooses Stretch‑n‑Grow to deliver weekly exercise and movement classes, they’re not just outsourcing a service — they’re gaining a specialist partner who removes cost, risk, and workload while delivering exceptional value to children and families.
