Four Programs – one for every need!


“Can you help me to lose weight to look like my friends? Most people make fun of me and call me fat or fatty or sing mean songs to me and it hurts so bad. So please, KidShape, help me.” (E-mail received by KidShape)

To meet more needs, we have created three programs in addition to the original KidShape –  one for young children, one for teens, and a less intensive KidShape program.

KidShape

A 9-week program, 2-1/4 hours per week, for overweight and obese children ages 6 to 14 and their families. Available in English and Spanish.

Since 1987 the KidShape program has graduated more than 12,000 kids and their families. 87% of those have lost weight and 80% of those who lost weight have kept it off for at least two years. KidShape empowers families to eat healthy, move more, and feel good.

To launch a Kidshape program requires
•    a Registered Dietitian
•    a Site Coordinator (may be the same person as the RD)
•    a Mental Health Professional
•    a Physical Activity Instructor

Cost
•    Annual licensing fee of $1,000 per site
•    One-time training cost of $1,500
•    One-time materials charge of $1,000 per site
•    $80 per enrolled family for materials
•    Cost of approximately 132 hours of instructor time


The KidShape Challenge

A 6-week program, 1-1/2 hours per week, for overweight and obese children ages 6 to 14 and their families.

Recognizing the need for a less intensive program that is effective building healthy families, we created The KidShape Challenge, which is less costly to operate because it has less class time. The physical activity portion of the program is done at home and monitored by a pedometer supplied to the family.

To launch The KidShape Challenge program requires
•    a Registered Dietitian
•    a Site Coordinator
•    a Mental Health Professional

Cost
•    Annual licensing fee of $1,000 per site
•    One-time training cost of $1,500
•    One-time materials charge of $1,000 per site
•    $80 per enrolled family for materials
•    Cost of approximately 31 hours of instructor time


KinderShape

A 6-week program, 1-1/2 hours per week, for overweight and obese children ages 3 to 5 and their families. Available in English and Spanish.

An increase in obesity in very young children led us to develop a program to empower  families of overweight and obese children under the age of 5 to eat healthy, move more, and feel good. Instruction is given to parents or guardians while the young children participate in fun, hands-on activities that teach healthy eating and encourage physical activity.

To launch the KinderShape program requires
•    a Registered Dietitian
•    a Site Coordinator (may be the same person as the RD)
•    a Mental Health Professional
•    a Physical Activity Coordinator

Cost
•    Annual licensing fee of $1,000 per site
•    One-time training cost of $1,500
•    One-time materials charge of $1,000 per site
•    $60 per enrolled family for materials
•    Cost of approximately 66 hours of instructor time


TeenShape

A 6-week program, 2-1/4 hours per week, for overweight and obese teens and their families.

TeenShape empowers teens to take a lead in their own health with the support of their parents or guardians. The program has a particular sensitivity to the social pressures on overweight or obese teens and to self-image issues. Teens are invited to bring close friends and family members who can help build a positive support system so that their lifestyle changes will become long term ones.

To launch the TeenShape program requires
•    a Registered Dietitian
•    a Site Coordinator (may be the same person as the RD)
•    a Mental Health Professional
•    a Physical Activity Instructor

Cost
•    Annual licensing fee of $1,000 per site
•    One-time training cost of $1,500
•    One-time materials charge of $1,000 per site
•    $80 per enrolled family for materials
•    Cost of approximately 87 hours of instructor time

A Note on Costs

The fees shown may be combined for cost savings. For instance, an annual license fee of $1,000 allows you to conduct up to five 9-week classes or up to six 6-week classes – or any combination. On-site training for one program costs $1,500. If a group of instructors wants to be trained in two programs at the same time, it lengthens the total instruction time to two days and the cost to $2,000. And if you want to run two different programs at one site, the additional classroom materials for the second program is $300.
