subject: Outdoor Playground For Kids At Preschool Punggol [print this page]


The playground at Punggol Park looks like the usual not so exciting playground but look closer and you'll find some interesting features. Do not forsake the importance of ramps like those in this particular playground. It provides young children from preschool Punggol with an opportunity to explore gradients while high above the ground. Children as old as four may still lack confidence so high off the ground that care givers often have to follow them up the playgrounds to give added support. Stand at one end of the ramp and encourage your child to walk to you. Pick up some leaves on your way to the playground and as you are up there, encourage your child to come take the leaves (one at a time) from you and bring it to another end to stack it up or display.

This playground is really quite suitable for four years and above and continues to be a challenge for the older kids at childcare center Punggol. There are many different challenging ways of getting up to the platform and the whole system is quite a maze. This is excellent for challenging a child's sense of space and problem solving and planning. So, observe and see if your child is always going up the same stair way and coming down the same slide. Discourage such patterns and challenge them to find other ways to get from one point to another.

Remember, ladders and slides are as much for climbing up as it is for climbing down. There are also various types of "bridges" for crossing and this is good training again for planning and also for balance. And if you think that these ropes can only be bridges, then sit back at one of the benches surrounding the playgrounds and observe how the kids from childcare Punggol play for 15 minutes.

An outdoor playground is an area designed for children to play freely. Modern outdoor playground is a combination of different pieces of equipment such as slide, climber, walking bridge, and monkey bars. And playing is very important in childrens growth. Outdoor playground promotes the spiritual, moral and character development of children. Playing in playgrounds could develop health, initiative, cooperation and self-confidence while diminishing idleness, selfishness and disruptive behaviors among children attending kindergarten Punggol.

Outdoor Playground environments provide opportunities for physical activity. In a recent study, it was found that on average, children ages 4 through 9 burn over 73 calories during 30 minutes of outdoor play. Playgrounds are among the most important environments for children outside the home. Most forms of play are essential for healthy development but free, spontaneous play, the kind that occurs on playgrounds is the most beneficial type of play. Research suggests that social relationships developed on the playground facilitate relationships and learning inside the classroom as well. And the children attending nursery Punggol can benefit from going to their local playgrounds.
