School playgrounds are in a unique position to meet kids where they are, helping them become smarter, heathier and stronger through play. Studies show that outdoor physical activity not only benefits a child’s health but improves classroom performance, increases cognitive development and hones social skills.
School playgrounds promote health through climbing, jumping and running while providing a controlled environment for physical activity.
School playgrounds offer opportunities for kids to collaborate and engage with each other to overcome challenges. When kids interact with the sensory elements in the outdoors, they get the opportunity to problem-solve and think critically.
