TO THE RESCUE WITH VIRTUAL RECESS!

By Ready Set Recess August 17, 2020


Would you like to finally get through a meeting without interruptions? Maybe take that nap or long shower you've been dreaming of? Or maybe simply enjoy some peace and quiet? Our talented team is here to rescue you with virtual RECESS! Our specially designed live group sessions are facilitated by our skilled ‘recess’ instructors who stream virtual playtime directly into your home! Ready. Set. Recess live-streamed sessions are formulated to capture your child’s attention while providing parents with a much-needed break from tending to their children. What makes Ready. Set. Recess so unique is that it is a PRIVATE membership platform that boasts a safe and secure play environment providing its members with UNLIMITED access to a variety of over 30 recess sessions per week!  That means your child can participate in more than 50 live group sessions with a skilled Recess Leader each month if they choose!


When the Pandemic shut down most of the world, we noticed that the situation created a social disconnect between children and their friends. We also noticed that parents and caregivers were running out of ideas to keep their children engaged, and quite frankly needed a bit of a break. The team at Ready. Set. Recess wanted to provide a solution to this by creating an engaging program for kids that would not only spark joy, but create community among children and provide meaningful jobs for our Recess Leaders while working from home.

After months of carefully thought out planning for our sessions and membership benefits Ready. Set. Recess was born!

Something that makes Ready. Set. Recess really stand out from other virtual platforms, is that our live sessions are more than just live webinars. We offer live interactive sessions built to create social development and connection where kids can see and talk to each other while they enjoy carefully planned instructed activities. We like to think of Ready. Set. Recess as a virtual pen pal opportunity for children to connect with not only their Recess Leaders, but the other kids in the session too!  We do this with the intention to give your child the opportunity to create lifelong friendships and improve their overall self-confidence in social situations! We limit each session to 10 households to create not only a safe virtual community but a place where children’s ideas can be heard and embraced!



The Benefits of a Private Virtual Community, aside from your sanity….

  • Recess Leaders provide social development and the unique opportunity to collaborate and communicate with other children in a safe virtual community 
  • Virtual recess sessions offer the ability to gain independence in their learning experience
