"If a child is going to thrive, his brain needs his body to move." - Preston Blackburn
In this post-Covid world, we are seeing a spike in self-regulation challenges, behavior challenges, learning challenges and classroom management challenges.
Getting kids moving can change all of that.
Kids today are more sedentary than they have ever been. It is changing the way their brains are wired. It is altering their development and it is hindering their future success.
Getting kids moving can change all of that.
And we can show you how.

“I had several former students at this conference. They participated in your session and were raving about it afterwards. They just loved both your content and your presentation style.” - Debra Jo Hailey, President Louisiana Early Childhood Association
“Preston’s “standing-room-only” presentation was inspiring and heavily backed by current research. I don’t think anyone left the session with a doubt in their minds that kids must move in order to learn. Not only teachers, but administrators and policy makers need to hear and understand this message.” - Rhonda J, NAEYC Conference attendee and play equipment company executive
“I have never seen such an all-encompassing presentation about the brain and body connection. I immediately took notes as quickly as I could. As the teacher of young students, I am eager to learn as much as I can about this topic. We hope to have her back tour campus many more times.” - Athletic director, independent girls school
“Eye-opening information and great practical application!” - Conference attendee
“I really was blown away by the information given on the importance of play and young children and how it can lead to an inability to control impulses.” - Conference attendee
