	Stephen Andrews is a visionary who constantly seeks wisdom. He studied architecture and taught design as a graduate student, and industrial arts at the high school level. He loves entrepreneur concepts, owns a printing company, and has made children’s toys. As a pioneer in the home school movement, Steve has led hundreds of families in their child’s education.
In 2019, he and Cindy designed and started building Discovery Park Ohio on their mini-farm. As of 2024, over 10,000 kids have visited their adventure park. Watching that many kids playing hard teaches you a lot about play and how kids learn. He shares his insights with a regular newsletter and speaking engagements to help families understand how play and learning are connected.

Since Cindy and I built Discovery Park about five years ago, we have watched over 10,000 kids joyfully explore and discover. We’ve seen them chase after chickens and proudly show off their catches. Our train cars have probably been hand-cranked over a hundred miles. Our experimental playground has taught us so much that I couldn’t keep it to myself anymore. Last winter, I began writing a book about everything I’ve observed and learned regarding how kids grow and learn through play and even how they share and negotiate during play. And you thought I was just an old man wandering around, doing maintenance!

I wrote a book about all my discoveries, which has now been released on Amazon. I need your help! For the first two weeks of March, the book will be available at a discounted price of $15.99. Please consider purchasing it! This book will have a significant impact on your family’s life. Even if you don’t often read, please consider this easy-to-read book. I care more about the message within the book than the money – understanding the impact of play on your child’s life is what truly matters. I want you to realize its power!
