“We see an incredible difference in our students after a [Pivot to Play™] class. They are more focused and do a much better job of listening and following directions. We have been so impressed with the coaches and how they communicate and encourage our kids. Everyone looks forward to our Tuesday’s!”

– Julia Warren, Founder + Executive Director   Celebrate RVA

“[Pivot to Play™] makes learning fun and active. The children are able to work on their listening skills without realizing it. They also get to practice working as a team to accomplish a goal and relying on their friends to help them. Teamwork makes the dream work! The best part is that our students love it!”

Erin Brown, teacher, Youth Life Foundation

“Preston’s passion and deep understanding make her a strong presenter who engages and impacts her audience!”

– Attendee, HeadStart program training

” [Pivot to Play] was everything we were hoping it would be!  After attending Preston’s session at the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) conference, I knew it was the perfect compliment to our existing early childhood curriculum(High/Scope).  Our teaching staff immediately fell in love with the simple, developmentally appropriate and FUN activities and the kids truly look forward to playing the games.  The activities are easy to scaffold based on the unique group of needs of the class and were an instant hit with our Toddlers, Pre-K and School Age friends.”

– Leah Lisowski, Riverview Children’s Center, Pittsburgh PA

“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

“Fabulous!  I wish the session were longer!  Such great instruction, information and implementation!”

 – Attendee, VAAEYC Conference

“I love having a toolbox of games and activities I can work with.  [I can] get creative using those tools to change things up to fit each class’s personality and skill level.  So. Much. Fun!”

– Katherine, Pivot to Play™ Certified Coach

“Thank you for creating this certification!  I have learned so much from the content of these courses and am eager to put it all to use.  I am extremely pleased with the amount of information presented and am eager to recommend this course to others who work with children.”

– Stephanie, Pivot to Play™ Certified Coach

“This is an excellent course!  I appreciated understanding the “why” to this program/method.  [The video] explained quite complex concepts in plain English with great examples…that are current and relatable to our world today.”
