Structured Recess
Transforming Recess into an Opportunity for Growth
Nexplore is a strategic stakeholder with the experience and mission to customize a comprehensive structured recess solution! We’ve partnered with schools and districts to understand their wellness goals, budget, and student needs. We proudly empower students with guided play and social-emotional learning activities, fostering a true joy of learning.
Why Structured Recess?
Recess is essential for students’ development, but when unstructured, it can lead to exclusion, conflicts, and missed opportunities. Structured recess fosters social interactions, teamwork, and physical activity, reduces behavioral issues, improves the school environment, enhances focus, and aligns with funding opportunities in NYC, California, and beyond.
