A Creative Place to Shine
A holistic creative-developmental approach that nurtures thinking, connection, sustainability, and human potential – at every stage of life.
B SmART ‘n PLAY
The Multidimensional Play Approach
B SmART ’n PLAY is a creative-developmental model that invites individuals and groups back into rich, experiential worlds through the creation of multi-purpose play projects.
From these open-ended creations emerges ongoing, multi-dimensional playfulness—supporting motor, social-emotional, cognitive, and creative development, while strengthening human and intergenerational connections.
Across different settings, children and adults design and build these play projects—sometimes together, sometimes in complementary roles—activating creative thinking and sustainability-minded values as simple materials are transformed into evolving systems of play.
Bell Telem Goudsmit
Raising three children across seven countries in less than a decade, combined with my professional background in physical education and countless hours of children's development through play, shaped the foundation for the multifaceted, educational play concept.
In 2008, while living in Budapest—the fourth place we called home—the idea behind this approach began to take shape.
