How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Inclusive Play Design
    methodology: inclusive_play
    By designing playgrounds to be accessible and engaging for children of all ages and abilities, including those with sensory and developmental differences, we increase equitable access to play and social development opportunities because inclusion from the outset fosters belonging and participation.
  • Nature-Integrated Playground Design
    methodology: nature-integrated_design
    By integrating playground structures with the natural environment, we enhance children's connection to nature and preserve the aesthetic and ecological value of the park because play spaces that blend with natural settings promote environmental stewardship and sensory-rich experiences.
  • Play-Based Learning Environment
    methodology: play-based_learning
    By incorporating imaginative role-play settings like a Farmer's Market/Cafe into the playground, we foster social interaction, language development, and early learning about nutrition and community roles because experiential play stimulates cognitive and emotional growth in children.
