Move with Me

Specialties

Playful movement based self-​regulation is the missing link in early childhood education. Our video programs and curriculum integrate story, creative movement, yoga, and self-​regulation such that children embody social-​emotional skills and enjoy the daily exercise they need to maintain a healthy weight and enhance cognitive skills. Movement builds the brain and body, improving self-​awareness, self-​regulation, learning, memory, behavior, and health. Mindfulness builds self-​regulation, which is the ability to monitor and manage energy states, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in ways that are acceptable and produce positive results such as well-​being, loving relationships, and executive function.

History

Established in 2008.

Move with Me is about young children at home and at school growing physically fit, emotionally stable and learning able by enjoying daily fun exercise instruction /​active play, and learning how to self-​care /​self-​regulate.

We focus our resources for early childhood because preschool is a key time in which to instill healthy physical activity habits and self-​regulation skills that will last a lifetime and because preschoolers who are overweight or obese are 5 times more likely than their peers to stay that way.
