For years, I felt that I had lost valuable professional development time while dedicating myself to raising and integrating my children into a life filled with transitions. Eventually, I have realized that this life journey was the platform for my professional growth and that no other degree could have taught me what I've learned along the way.

The play-based multifaceted concept was developed over a decade of raising our young children across seven countries, five in Eastern Europe, a journey that profoundly shaped my parenting and educational approach.

While my degree in physical education and professional experience with children emphasized the importance of holistic growth, my present play-based motherhood showed me firsthand how experiential, interactive play shapes children's development, self-connection, and relationships with others. Experiencing diverse educational systems, from nurseries to middle schools, revealed the profound impact of teaching approaches on children's sense of visibility, competence, and belonging.

Our life experience inspired me to create a comprehensive tool that collectively responds to a wide scale of children's developmental and value-based needs.

The play-based approach evolved over years of quiet dedication to crafting game models and first experiencing their impact on children of all ages.

Since 2017, after relocating to New Jersey and writing my book about the play-based multifaceted concept, my work with 4-10-year-old children and their parents started to take off.

I’ve led hundreds of workshops, summer programs, and extracurricular activities, launching my own boutique creative camps and large-scale community projects.

In addition, years of private swim instruction and teaching young kids Hebrew at the Jewish Community Center also emphasized and supported my understanding of children's unique needs and reinforced the importance of flexible thinking to help each child reach their full potential and find their place to shine.

Since 2023, I have conducted lectures and training sessions for parents and professionals to foster thriving creative development in the screen age.

My book B SmART 'n PLAY- Play, Explore, Connect, and have endless fun with games YOU create was published in 2017.

This year, I’m dedicated to training those working with children—at home, in schools, and in therapeutic and educational settings —to integrate key play-based principles based on the developmental, multilayered game approach that was developed over the years.

Sincerely, Bell
