“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

Our Curriculum

Our goal is to inspire educators with the brain science and logic of moving for improved learning and behavior.  Our Curriculum and Playbook are designed to empower teachers with the tools they need to get their students moving to fill the play gap that is keeping kids from mastering everything from self-regulation and self-control to those meaty classroom necessities like holding a book or a pencil, sitting still in a chair, and holding letters still on a page. 

Our curriculum comes with up to 2 hours of professional development, giving you all the tools you need for success.

” [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
