Milton board directs staff to continue talks with Kiddo Kinetics after presentation
Summary
After a presentation by franchisee Patrick Guillory, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted to direct staff to continue discussions about a partnership with Kiddo Kinetics, a noncompetitive youth movement and sports enrichment provider; no contract or funding was approved.
Patrick Guillory, representing Kiddo Kinetics, presented a program overview to the Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on April 17 and described age‑appropriate, noncompetitive sessions that emphasize gross-motor skill development.
Guillory said Kiddo Kinetics operates a franchise in East Cobb and has worked with the City of Alpharetta; the Milton proposal described two classes (ages 2–3 and 4–5), each 45 minutes long in an 8‑week session, and emphasized portability: "we tell schools and centers that we're in a 20 by 20 room is all we need," Guillory said. He added the provider brings equipment and coaches and adapts activities (for example, soft lacrosse sticks and foam noodles for baseball practice) to be age-appropriate and noncompetitive.
After questions from board members about space and scheduling, a motion was made to have city staff continue conversations with Kiddo Kinetics about a possible partnership. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the action directs staff to pursue discussions but does not constitute approval of a contract or budget commitment.
Board members and staff noted existing local partnerships and the flexibility of the program format when considering venues (gyms, meeting rooms or open fields). Staff will continue to vet operational details such as scheduling, location and potential program fees before bringing any formal agreement to council or the board.
