    PLAY MATTERS WITH BRIGHT HORIZONS: Play: A Foundation of Success feat. Claire Goss
    Sep 20 2024
    On this episode of Play Matters with Bright Horizons, we learn about how play provides a foundation for success! Claire Goss mentions how we may have heard terms like “Montessori” or “play-based." At Bright Horizons, they have a unique framework for teaching and learning called “Discovery Driven Learning." They put children’s discovery at the center of the framework. From finding their fingers and toes to repetitively asking why to wondering how things work, how people feel, and how to learn, children are driven to discover. Bright Horizons nurtures these natural curiosities and pursue these inquiries using a whole-child curriculum. Claire goes on to provide tips on how parents should embrace the mess and allow their kids to use all their five senses to explore!
