Instructors and coaches at Brains & Motion Education undergo meticulous and extensive background checks and rigorous vetting processes and are described as heavily vetted. They receive comprehensive training in their specific subject areas as well as child development and safety protocols, along with continuous professional development to stay current with the latest educational practices and techniques. Staff backgrounds include education, coaching, STEAM, child psychology, and more, and instructors are described as expert, caring mentors with knowledge, talent, personality, and heart. The program uses an expertly crafted curriculum.
The leadership team includes Bart Epstein (CEO), Frank Bonanno (CFO), Kristopher Kasper (COO), Rob Magliano (CRO), Sean Zinsley (CTO), Jody Nova (VP of Curriculum), Charissa Murphy (VP of Finance), Kirsten Tamura (Director of Talent Acquisition & Customer Service), Sarah Esquivel (Director of Sales Operations), Amanda Wright (Operations Director), Jessica De Arcos (Operations Director), Casie DiCenso (Director of Summer Camps), Mallory Davis (Director of Training & Development), and Trey Thompson (Director of Sales, West).
Parent feedback includes comments that a counselor named Camille quickly eased a young camper’s nerves and helped her open up about her interests. Another parent reported that their son had so much fun that he wished the robotics camp was longer. A parent named Gabriella shared that her child became more talkative at home and had a lot to share about her group and coach. A Trustpilot review from Kristen describes the program as well rounded across the STEAM range, more enriched than an average after care program, and praises an instructor named Ms. Sierra as helpful, kind, very bright, and clearly loving what she does.
