About Play-n-Motion
"For the last 17 years I’ve been researching and working on alternatives to enhance education and healthy development on children. The growing need to address the complexity of child development has led me to Psychomotricity and to its unique way of understanding the mutual influence of cognition, emotion, movement and relationships.
The emerging demand of including a global vision on child development in the US education and health systems and my belief in seeing the benefits and values of Psychomotricity, have guided me to create Play-n-Motion.
The mission of Play-n-Motion is to be an enriching resource for families and a nurturing space for children. A place where every child feels safe and encouraged to explore, discover and embody their potential. An opportunity to navigate challenges and to build tools that strengthen their whole being."
