The first day of school can be daunting – whether starting school in grade 1, beginning a new phase or moving to a new school.
The playground can be a great place to help the new children integrate into their new environment.
Children generally benefit greatly from social interaction and group play and a fun, challenging outdoor playground can help children adapt to a new school by giving them a chance to interact with the children around them in a non-threatening environment and helping them find new friends.
At Rustics, we design our Playground equipment to boost social interaction by incorporating equipment that encourages cooperative play; children can climb over bars which intersect with other pieces of equipment, they can climb up cargo nets together, run, jump, and crawl together. Swings are also placed side by side to encourage interaction.
