Brains & Motion Education states that its mission is to spark kids’ curiosity, creativity, and love of learning by blending STEAM adventures with sports and outdoor movement, with a focus on holistic development in a fun, inclusive environment. The organization offers after-school programs, summer camps, before and after-school programs, and guided recess, and it has empowered 100,000 students. Social-emotional learning is built into every lesson, and the programs are described as whole-child enrichment that blend STEAM, movement, communication, and collaboration while building 21st-century competencies and supporting academic growth, emotional well-being, social development, and physical health.
Instructors receive extensive training in their subject areas and in child development, along with continuous professional development to stay current with educational practices and techniques. Every candidate goes through extensive background checks, and the organization highlights that its instructors and coaches are heavily vetted. Brains & Motion Education has 1,100 school partnerships, and parents or guardians can request programs at their child’s school, while school administrators can partner with Brains & Motion Education to bring programs to their campus.
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).
One parent review on Trustpilot describes the program as “so well rounded providing activities across the entire STEAM range,” and says that her son enjoys his time each day and that it feels “so much more enriched than your average after care program.” In the same review, the parent notes that “the instructors are all great” and mentions Ms. Sierra as “so helpful, kind, very bright and clearly loves what she does.”
