Preschool Playground Equipment

Preschool playground

 

There are several reasons why it is important for preschool parents to take their children to the playground. The playground is one of the child's first interactions with other children and the world around them. Not only are they learning how much fun it is to get some exercise, but they are learning how to explore, make decisions, and how to get along with other people. These are all important concepts to grasp as the children transition into school.

 

Safety

 

Playing on a playground should be a fun experience for both the parent and the child. Safety needs to be the number one priority. It is important to pick playgrounds that are specifically for preschoolers. Make sure that the equipment is in good shape. Parents should also have a clear view throughout the playground.

When choosing playground equipment choose equipment that will engage, challenge, and allow for interaction. Make sure that the equipment is sized appropriately. Make sure that slides and other equipment that are located off the ground are not too high to prevent injuries from falls. Usually, a half of a foot off the ground is the benchmark that is used. The equipment should be colorful to appeal to the senses. There should be no gaps large enough for little fingers and toes to get caught or stuck in.

 

Companies

 

When constructing a preschool playground, it is important to choose a company who understands the unique needs of a preschooler. Choose a company that understands the safety regulations regarding preschool playground equipment. Also, you want a company that can construct a playground system that is fun, engaging, and stimulating.
