Playground

A wide selection of equipment to stimulate, challenge, and support the development of children.

Playground

The outdoor environment, including its layout, plantings, equipment and props, has a profound impact on children’s learning and behaviour.

Ruse Preschool's playground has a wide choice to stimulate and challenge children, with open-ended (such as sand and water play) and child-directed opportunities which support children’s play and development.

Children need to be able to explore, be active, discover, and develop in an interesting, stimulating and pleasurable context. The play space is inviting, visually attractive and enticing to children. It allows for individual children’s stages of development, and is a supportive environment to encourage children to the next level.

We have considered all ages, abilities, and special needs, in the design of this play space.
