Brains & Motion Education states that its mission is to spark kids’ curiosity, creativity, and love of learning by blending exciting STEAM adventures with sports and joyful outdoor movement, with a focus on holistic development that includes intellectual and physical growth in a fun, inclusive environment. Programs include summer camps, before and after-school programs, guided recess, and Expanded Learning Programs for students, and they blend STEAM, movement, communication, and collaboration in developmentally rich and engaging ways. The organization emphasizes whole-child learning that includes academic, creative, social, emotional, and physical growth, and it describes Social-Emotional Learning as woven into every activity and built into every lesson. Programs are described as placing fun at the forefront in a pressure-free environment, with an emphasis on building confidence, curiosity, and lifelong friendships, inclusivity, friendship, and community, and celebrating differences. Brains & Motion Education reports that it has empowered over 100,000 students, has 1,100 school partnerships, and is trusted by families and school leaders nationwide and loved by Bay Area kids and parents.
Instructors and coaches are described as expert, caring mentors with the ideal balance of knowledge, talent, personality, and heart, and every candidate undergoes rigorous vetting processes, including extensive background checks. Instructors 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. They are described as deeply enthusiastic about teaching and engaging with students, creating a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere, and they bring diverse expertise with backgrounds in education, coaching, STEAM, child psychology, and more. The leadership team includes CEO Bart Epstein, CFO Frank Bonanno, COO Kristopher Kasper, VP of Sales Lori Todd, VP of Product & Curriculum Jody Nova, VP of Finance Charissa Murphy, Director of Talent Acquisition & Customer Service Kirsten Tamura, Director of Sales Operations Sarah Esquivel, Operations Directors Amanda Wright and Jessica De Arcos, Director of Summer Camps Casie DiCenso, Director of Training & Development Mallory Davis, and Director of Sales, West, Trey Thompson.
Brains & Motion Education partners with local Bay Area schools and community organizations to create safe, inspiring spaces for kids, and offers programs held at local schools and nearby universities across the country. The organization notes that it provides financial assistance in Illinois and has a scholarship application available. It also offers blog resources, including a summer camp guide and a quiz to identify a child’s learning style or motivations, and lists jobs and careers at BAM! such as coaches, coding instructors, site leaders, and curriculum experts. The program describes its philosophy as progressive and aimed at nurturing intellectual prowess, creativity, social growth, and physical vitality, and it positions learning as an adventure with hands-on experimentation and joyful outdoor movement.
Parent feedback includes comments that a counselor quickly eased a young child’s nerves at a new camp and helped her open up about her interests, that a child wished the robotics camp was longer because he had so much fun, and that one camper became more talkative at home and had a lot to share about her group and coach. Another parent describes the program as well rounded across the STEAM range, more enriched than an average after care program, and praises an instructor, Ms. Sierra, as helpful, kind, very bright, and clearly loving what she does.
