Preschool Playground Equipment

Small children need an outdoor place to play, whether they are attending preschool or daycare. Preschool playground equipment can include small bridges, musical pieces, or playhouses. A preschool playground does not always need to be educational, as pieces which encourage movement and creativity may be more stimulating for small children. A preschool playground might be made up of:

A climbing structure
A playhouse
A trike path
Water stations
Building blocks
Or a theme, such as a garden theme or a science theme

Children will enjoy climbing around structures that challenge them . For older preschoolers, overhead climbing structures help them to develop upper body strength.

For slightly older children, a playground might include a climbing structure with many different elements. Daycare playground equipment depends on space available. A small climbing structure with a path for trikes or play cars might work in a small space. A larger space can allow for more variety in climbing structures, a playhouse, or a more extended theme.

Toddler playground equipment available from Grounds For Play is extremely creative, as well as carefully designed to allow many toddlers space to play on climbing structures that include decks suited for toddlers’ heights. A climbing structure with bridges at a school-aged appropriate height will be too high for toddlers. The right height, as well as a good allotment of space for running children, is important. Toddlers also enjoy trike paths and themed playsets, which include space to run as well as pieces to encourage their imaginations.

For very small children, like infants and babies who are crawling, infant centers and panel mazes are a standard choice for play places. Infants enjoy games of peek-a-boo and can be enclosed inside panel mazes for safety while playing. Play gazebos are a larger variation, and may fit background décor or add color and variety to a playground.

In our catalog, or on our website at Grounds For Play, parents and childcare providers can find more information about infant mazes. Infant mazes have moveable walls and provide a variety of small rooms for babies to crawl between or play within. This provides a safe and stimulating environment for very small children to have fun.

Playgrounds appropriate to the size and ability of small children such as infants, toddlers, and preschoolers requires some research and knowledge. Make it easy by taking advantage of our experience and research, and take a look at the age related structures section of our website at Grounds For Play.
