Recess, delivered like a subscription
RecessPods for Schools is a monthly service: we deliver an enclosed trailer stocked with recess equipment and pair it with a play-inspired social-emotional learning curriculum. Every month, the equipment is refreshed and the online curriculum updates to match — so recess never goes stale. Pricing is $1,900 per month with a one-semester (five-month) minimum.
Why schools do this
Despite the research, 42% of schools nationally have canceled or heavily reduced recess. The evidence for bringing it back is hard to argue with. According to Playworks, with better recess 93% of educators report an increase in students’ ability to focus in class, 98% report more students physically active at recess, and 94% report an increase in children resolving their own conflicts positively.
Before school, during school, after school
The pod supports the full day: morning arrival programming, recess itself, after-school play, and out-of-school-time programming — the same menu of 90+ games we run across Cleveland, adapted for your schedule, space, and grade levels. The SEL curriculum connects the play to the classroom, so the games practice focus, collaboration, and conflict resolution on purpose.
