My Play-losophy:

I worked at Marbles Kids Museum prior to working at Powell so I had lots of great experiences and interactions with the power of learning through play. Play is exciting and stimulating to the mind at all ages but especially so for children. By providing an environment at school that encourages children to be active and playful and allows them to explore learning in a non-traditional way and because of that I've seen them react to education in ways that shows a passion and excitement for learning and coming to school in children not always seen.
