A MESSAGE FROM BRIGHT DAY CO-FOUNDER, LAUREL TUCKER \u2026..<\/p>\n
We operate BRIGHT DAY BIG BLOCKS on a school year calendar – so our year ends in June, says Co-Founder Laurel Tucker. We fell into that habit when our other Co-Founder, David Krishock ran SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIRS some years back. When you operate on a school calendar you realize that most people do – operate on a school calendar this is – because millions of adults are parents, and their children\u2019s schedules and calendars are organized around attending school. So, when we look back over the last 12 months – we are so happy – so pleased we have helped close to a million children play over the last year – we have connected and made friends with thousands of parents and educators – and we have watched our play based initiatives grow and contribute to helping communities worldwide. We are honored to serve the education community – and proud to have developed into trusted partner to schools and related organizations worldwide.<\/p>\n
We always want to take an opportunity to thank those that have supported us this past year:<\/p>\n
~ supported us in our for-profit Bright Day Big Blocks business. This product has demonstrated that so much cognitive + physical benefit comes from unique, engaging + fun play products. Big Blocks are a big idea!\u00a0 <\/span>Our customers, our community love our Blocks – and our Blocks are<\/i> a natural complement to our mission of getting more children playing<\/i>. When speaking to us about our Blocks the most used word among our customers, our play community is \u201clove\u201d. We get so emotional when we speak with our community – we love that you love, and we promise to continue to work hard to offer the most unique, playful Big Block experiences to help you all help your children play + learn.<\/p>\n ~ we also owe you thanks for the support of our not-for-profit Bright Day Foundation. Our two biggest moments this past year include (1) continued production of our global film documentary promoting play and play-based learning titled PLAY IS THE WAY! We filmed in 6 more countries, visiting best-practice schools and play-centers. This film will speak boldly to a global audience of parents + educators that play is the best way for our children to learn<\/i>. This film will premiere in 2024.\u00a0<\/span>(2) Our Foundation also launched a giving program titled TITLE ONE DERFUL, where we, and those that donate, gift our beloved Big Blocks to USA based schools in need – recognizing that every single child in every community deserves respect, love, and an opportunity to play.<\/p>\n I recall a long, long time ago there was an advertisement on the television that stated – \u201cWe Do it All for You\u201d<\/i> – and I don\u2019t recall what company that was – but that sediment does reflect who we are at Bright Day, and what we do. Be it Blocks, or Curriculum, gifting our product to help communities, or films promoting play – we do it all to help you help your children play + learn. And we do that because we know it works. You know that too, we align with you.<\/p>\n Thank you for a great school year – we are so proud to be partners now and in the future,<\/p>\n ~ Laurel Tucker<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A MESSAGE FROM BRIGHT DAY CO-FOUNDER, LAUREL TUCKER \u2026..
