Imagine a toddler crawling toward his favorite stuffed animal, or a little girl climbing the jungle gym at recess – when you think about it, physical play is one of the most memorable aspects of childhood. Active play is critical for children’s physical development and it helps improve their coordination, balance, gross-motor skills (large movements like crawling and walking), and fine-motor skills (smaller movements like picking objects up). There is tons of research about the health benefits of living an active lifestyle, and the same is true for our children. Plus, physical play helps children use up their natural stores of energy and promotes better eating and sleeping habits.
We need your help in getting this playtime paradise through our door! The clubhouse climber will help our students practice their gross motor skills and let their imaginations run wild. Kids can use the crawl-through tunnel, stairs, and slides to practice their hand-eye coordination and balance during play. The donations to this project will help to improve our students’ physical development for a healthier future.
