Nothing brings us more joy than helping you learn tools and resources to move education into a more emotionally intelligent, whole, wellness-focused environment that champions different learning styles in a fun and creative way.
We love any opportunity to come and let you and or your students & teachers experience our approach first hand. Our ultimate goal is to inspire educators to implement these strategies into their classrooms on a regular basis
“Children learn through doing – play is how they explore their world, learn how to assess risk, try things out, and get to know themselves”

Different levels of EDGEucation are available: from working with students, to supporting teachers to effectively integrate Movement-Based, Social/Emotional Learning Methods right into teaching practice and curriculum.

Signature Experience: (K-8)
The gym will be buzzing with positivity (and sweat) as 3-4 classes get together to move their bodies in a highly engaging and inclusive environment! Students will not only be physically active moving to various music styles but will also be nurturing positive character traits like: creative expression, problem solving, self-regulation, confidence healthy peer interaction and other social/emotional skills! Once we start moving, you will see how uplifted students (and the teachers!) get, creating an environment where you can't help but have a smile on your face! It's so incredibly inspiring to see!

Teacher PD
Walk away with a new perspective of how we deliver curriculum!
In this workshop you will gain a deeper understanding of our key philosophies and framework learning to use Movement and Social/Emotional Learning Methods to deliver different curriculum concepts (numeracy, literacy and more!). A great kinesthetic and differentiated instruction tool to increases academic engagement and understanding of concepts, while also supporting student well-being, DPA and positive classroom community. This is not an "add on" to the day, but a different way of looking at delivering curriculum where physical activity, creativity and connection to self and others becomes just how we do things - bridging the gap between meeting our curriculum expectations and the changing developmental challenges of students growing up in a digital world!
