Product Spotlight: Playmotion™ Technology

Product Spotlight: Playmotion™ Technology

                There is such a huge desire for educational play these days in schools and childcare facilities. As was discussed last week, this can prove to facilitate boring and inactive play for your children. However, here at Xccent, we KNOW that not all things can be taught in a classroom or learned from a book. Your child needs so much more to develop into a well rounded adult. To name only a few:

·         Social skills

·         Large muscle coordination

·         Sense of humor

All these elements and more benefit from and develop in playtime. Our exclusive Playmotion™ technology encourages kids to play to the ABSOLUTE BEST of their ability.

Check out www.xccentplay.com for a full catalog of all of our products and the full range of benefits that come from Playmotion™ technology.

                A recent study by Kristen Copeland, MD, of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and her colleagues shows that the rise in childhood obesity may have to do with simple boredom from the young children in regards to their outdoor play and playgrounds.

Here at Xccent, so much time and resources are spent on making sure that our systems and play events are not only completely safe, but also have optimum play value for those children using them.
