Play Equipment for Schools
Schools are designed to help facilitate holistic education for children, and education leaders understand that not all learning occurs within the four walls of the school. Learning through play has also proven to be incredibly important. In fact, states across the Southeast have passed laws that require elementary schools to allow at least 20-30 minutes of daily physical activity for students. Similar laws also exist which require preschools and childcare facilities to provide each child with the opportunity for outdoor play every day. Lawmakers have joined with educational professionals to affirm that providing children with opportunities for quality outdoor play is needed for the development and growth of each and every child in America. One result of this renewed commitment is the fact that commercial play equipment is a necessity for every school environment.
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!
Benefits of School Play Equipment for Children
Honestly, there are many reasons you should have a fun, safe playground installed at your school, preschool, or daycare. Commercial playgrounds for school facilities are designed for children to be able to get some needed exercise, develop their motor & social skills, and also be able to have some fun at the same time! Here are just a few noteworthy benefits:
A well-designed school playground empowers kids to leave their screens behind in order to enjoy some needed outdoor play. Having access to the right playground equipment encourages children to experience outdoor activities that are both engaging to them on a personal level, as well as providing a healthy means for individual growth and development.
Playing outdoors is one of the best available avenues for getting the heart pumping and getting those young muscles moving. There’s nothing like giving children the opportunity to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine while stretching their limbs on some exciting playground equipment! Playgrounds are also a strategic way to allow children to grow and further refine their motor skills.
A playground teaches children to work together and also helps them to appreciate the value of engaging with their peers. Gaining these important social skills builds confidence in a child and also helps children to gain important communication skills, particularly when it comes to being able to express their thoughts and feelings.
New and open-ended play opportunities allow children to become more creative and helps them to develop better problem-solving skills, as well. With a well-designed and engineered playground system, no two play experiences are exactly alike. Every single play experience offers its own creative benefits for children.
Think back to your own time as a young student. Some of your greatest learning experiences probably didn’t occur in a classroom; likely, they occurred out in the space of the school playground. And teachers who are intentional can actually use children’s experiences on the playground to help supplement and enhance what they teach in the classroom, including everything from math, to science, to vocabulary skills.
Let’s face it, a long school day can be stressful for a child (or on an adult, for that matter!). Letting children enjoy some physical activity on a playground can facilitate the release of endorphins, which serve to help neutralize the feelings of stress, anxiety, and even depression. Playground activity is also beneficial in that it can aid in the development of other valuable cognitive skills, too.
Why School Play Equipment Makes Sense for Students of ALL Ages
You know that playgrounds are a staple of elementary schools, but what about for older students? The fact of the matter is that both middle school and high school students benefit from constructive recess opportunities, too. ALL students – middle schoolers and high schoolers included – need some healthy breaks from sitting in their desks all day. Having some age-appropriate play, recreational, and/or fitness equipment onsite is great for students to enjoy both during the school day, as well as beyond it.
