SRP Child Development Guide

CASE STUDY

FACT: By adding a new play environment , Brighton Day Academy is able to help children reach important developmental milestones .

The play area for children 2-12 years old includes a shaded steel structure, which is packed with safe and challenging play components like slides, climbers, and panels. The shade structure not only keeps the play area cool, it also protects the condition of the play equipment. The space is completed with a bubble climber, tea cup spinner, and a climb and discover cave. For after school kids, they chose a structure designed with lots of components for physical activity. With no defined entry point, children will continually find new ways to engage in play with their peers. Research shows play directly correlates to brain development. The new play environments help foster opportunities for play, which help children reach important developmental milestones.

In St. Augustine, Fla., Brighton Day Academy provides high-quality child care and preschool academics. They focus on empowering children will the skills to learn. They offer programs for infants, preschool, before/after school, and summer camps. Their goal is to provide a high-quality and developmentally appropriate learning environment that nurtures children’s physical, mental, emotional, and academic growth. Our SRP Certified Partner, Southern Recreation, helped create three play areas that are developmentally appropriate for children of all ages. They chose a Tot-Trek, which is the ideal choice for children ages 6-23 months. This structure offers age-appropriate challenges.
