Infrastructure Update: Playground

CREATING AN OUTDOOR SPACE WHERE LEARNING & CURIOSITY ARE MAXIMISED

At NAG, we are constantly developing ways to mobilise and maximise investments in order to improve the quality of Early Childhood Development (ECD) services in marginalised communities. 

We have identified the need to help ECD centres create stimulating outdoor environments as children currently have very limited opportunities for varied play outdoors. 

Through funding from the Impande Foundation in Norway we have recently completed our first pilot playground. We have emphasised exploration, creativity and fantasy play and included elements to accommodate all age groups.

The water and sand table allow children to explore different textures, and allows them to measure and experiment.
The big weaving board promotes coordination and working together.
The activity board is great for young children and helps them learn how things open and close by pushing, pulling, sliding and unlatching. Great for fine motor development finger dexterity.
The cube is like a den where children can take refuge and enjoy a cosy space with their friends.
