Outdoor Learning Environments extend the classroom into the outdoors where children can play with and among natural elements such as sand, water and living plants.

These natural playgrounds give children the opportunity to learn through cause and effect the impact they have on their immediate surroundings and the environment as a whole.

Through natural learning, the outdoor classroom enhances and reinforces the lessons students learn in every subject from math to the arts, and music.The correlation between outdoor play and social, cognitive and behavior development is well documented with evidence supporting benefits such as improved recall of information, creative problem solving and increased creativity among children.

Finally, there is strong evidence to support that natural playgrounds have academic benefits because outdoor play fosters a sense of wonder that serves as a motivator for life long learning.A soft shade roof allows just enough light for plants, while still providing a shady spot to cool down on warm days.

The Interactive Trike Trail allows children to freely and safely ride their trike in the great outdoors on a poured in place rubber track for extra safety. The entire play area is a soft rubber that is poured in place. No need to worry about your child putting wood chips or rubberpellets that most schools have in their mouth.

Sand play is one of the most important elements of any play area. A truly interactive sand area contains deep clean white play sand, a water source, shade and a variety of digging tools.

Your kids will build buildings, structures, and more with the use of rubber building blocks.
