Why Pivot to Play?

At Pivot to Play® we are experts at play.
We help schools get kids moving for improved learning and behavior.
More importantly, we are the only company that uses brain science and logic to craft curriculum designed for teachers to fold into existing curriculum with active learning during the school day.
Our curriculum is designed to fill the play gap between PE and recess.
It is designed to fill this play gap that has made kids more sedentary than they've ever been.
It is designed to fill the play gap that has made kids today weaker than they have ever been.
It is designed to fill the play gap that has made everything from holding a pencil to sitting still harder than it should be.
Kids need strong bodies to sit at a desk, hold scissors, or even a book.
Kids' brains need to understand motor patterns that facilitate everything from language to math.
Kids' brains need to understand how long their arms are to use them for classwork.
This information only comes from the trial and error of moving the body. And for children, the way to move their bodies is in big-body, physical play.
And if we don't get kids moving, something they innately crave, then their brains are going to make them move anyway.
This has brought a tremendous rise in self-regulation and self-control challenges in schools today.
Adding moving into the school day, as a complement to recess and PE, calms bodies and minds and prepares kids for learning.
Moving more is not a waste of time, it gains time.
