"Play is, at bottom, growth, and at the top of the intellectual scale, the eternal type of research from sheer love of truth.’ – G. Stanley Hall. I believe that when we see learning as the playground of the mind, and share our curiosity, questions, thoughts and joy, true growth and creation emerge.”
