When Rippowam Cisqua School needed to update their playground, they wanted to create an environment where children would find courage, feel supported by their classmates, and be inspired to reach new heights. Pre-kindergarteners to ninth graders attend the Bedford, New York school, making the goal of creating a thrilling playground for everyone all the more challenging. Through collaboration and customization, this dynamic playground allows every student to find adventure at their own pace.
"We wanted there to be lots of opportunities to take chances, be nervous if they can do something, but try anyway and find out they can. Those small wins are a big deal in the developmental arch of a child."
Colm MacMahon, Head of School
The varied equipment and structures challenge children of different age groups at their respective skill levels.
The spinner plate and carousel playground equipment speak to smaller children, who will, while having fun, improve their motor skills and spatial awareness through each rotation.
For the older crowd, the Jungle Dome and Large Rope Play Tower will encourage these Bravehearts to test their limits as they climb higher and higher.
The commercial wooden swing set, which includes a basket swing, holds multiple children at a time, giving them time to socialize and bond as they improve patience and cooperation through turn-taking.
