We’re so excited to bring PlayMotion Kids to the Greater Houston area, a play-based movement enrichment program, designed specifically for preschoolers and young children. Our mission is simple but powerful: to help kids build strong bodies, calm minds, and joyful hearts through fun, developmentally appropriate movement experiences.
At PlayMotion Kids, we believe movement is more than just exercise. It’s the foundation of learning, emotional regulation, and lifelong health. That’s why we offer four unique enrichment programs that blend physical activity, creativity, and mindfulness, giving centers and families the flexibility to choose what fits best.
Our Signature Enrichment Programs
Childcare centers can choose from four engaging movement experiences:

PlayMotion Dance Discovery – A fun and expressive way to build coordination, rhythm, and body awareness through dance and imaginative movement games.

PlayMotion Yoga – Creative yoga poses through story-telling and fun music.

PlayMotion Power-Play – A high-energy fitness class designed to support gross motor skills, agility, and strength, all through playful drills and active games.

PlayMotion Music Makers– Where rhythm meets movement! This class builds upon the movement of the Power Play program but adds early musicality, listening skills, and coordination through beat-based movement, songs, and instruments for the youngest little learners.
All classes are delivered on-site at schools, preschools, and child care centers by trained instructors who specialize in early childhood movement. We make it easy for centers to offer a high-quality, hassle-free enrichment program that enhances their curriculum and supports child development.
Why Movement Matters in Early Childhood
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC recommend that preschool-aged children get at least 3 hours of physical activity daily, with at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous movement. But in today’s busy world, with more screen time and fewer opportunities for unstructured play, many kids simply aren’t moving enough.
That’s where PlayMotion Kids comes in. Our enrichment classes help children meet their recommended activity levels in a way that feels fun, empowering, and sustainable.
The Whole-Child Benefits of Movement and Mindfulness
Regular movement isn’t just good for a child’s body. It’s critical for their mind and emotions too. Research shows that kids who move their bodies regularly are more likely to:
✅ Regulate emotions and behavior
✅ Pay attention and stay focused
✅ Build stronger muscles and bones
✅ Sleep better and experience less stress
✅ Feel more confident and connected
By blending movement with mindfulness, PlayMotion Kids helps children learn how to move their bodies with purpose, pause when needed, and develop a toolkit of self-regulation strategies that support their success both in and out of the classroom.
A Look Inside a PlayMotion Kids Class
Each class is age-appropriate, developmentally aligned, and packed with joyful movement!
🎵 Welcome & Warm-up: Each session begins with music, warm-up movements, and breathwork to engage kids right away.
🎯 Skill-Focused Activities: Depending on the program, kids will engage in games, yoga poses, obstacle courses, dancing, or rhythm exercises to support coordination and motor skill development.
💗 Mindfulness Moments: We always end with a moment of stillness, gratitude, or reflection to help children transition calmly back to their day.
A Win-Win for Centers and Families
Partnering with PlayMotion Kids offers big benefits for both childcare providers and parents:
🏫 For Centers: Our TEKS aligned curriculum provides high-quality enrichment that requires no extra staffing. Our programs help reduce classroom behavior challenges and boost enrollment appeal.
