Elementary school playgrounds offer a unique opportunity for children to play, practice their skills and gain confidence. They also provide a much-needed break from the classroom. While there is no evidence on how much recess is best, it’s clear that getting kids outside can fight obesity, improve concentration in the classroom and encourage essential social skills.
Many people prefer to live in apartment complexes and homeowners associations because of their affordability, ease of maintenance and amenities. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities for building owners to get involved in their properties. In doing so, your community can be one of the most desirable places to live in your area!
In honor of World Kindness Day - How Play Spaces Foster Kindness
Did you know that a playground’s layout influences how children play, create, imagine and socialize? Most playgrounds are consciously designed to be safe, enriching learning environments.
Playgrounds have always been an important escape for kids, but this couldn’t be more true during a pandemic. Many kids across the country are still at home e-learning, which means they’re spending more time cooped up indoors and less time with their peers.
Ask any kid what their favorite subject is and most will declare, “Recess!” Today’s schools don’t just teach the ABCs and 123s. They also prepare students for a successful adult life.
What’s better than a colorful playground filled with slides, tunnels and climbers? A playground that follows a fun theme!
Spending time at the park is a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors for fresh air and sunshine. Best of all, kids tire themselves out so they sleep better at night. But being at the park also means there’s a chance for scrapes, bumps and bruises.
Designing a custom playground for your community can be both exciting and overwhelming. With many different types of playground equipment and a wide span of ages to cater to, you may be tempted to include a little bit of everything.
