SRP Child Development Guide

CASE STUDY

FACT: Jack and Jill Pre-School replaced an old, worn out playground with a complete play environment catered to child development.

There are two areas for children ages 6-23 months and 2-5 years.

Jack and Jill Pre-School has been serving families within the Fernandina Beach, Fla. community for over 63 years. They strive to provide children with Christ-centered education that facilitates cognitive, physical, social, and spiritual development for lifelong learning. With the help of our SRP Certified Partner, Southern Recreation, they needed to replace an old and non-compliant playground. Their existing play area had worn out wood mulch surfacing, an older play structure, and no shaded areas. One of their biggest needs was incorporating shade to each part of the play environment, so children and staff can enjoy the playground in the hot Florida weather. The entire play environment is designed in a bright and exciting color scheme, so each element has a cohesive look.

For older children, the shaded play structure is one of the central features of this play environment. It is designed with fun components including slides, climbers, and interactive play panels. The structure is protected with shade, which not only keeps it cool but also elongates the life of the play equipment. Next to it is our swings with integrated shade. For younger children is a structure designed for those aged 6-23 months. It features interactive play panels. There’s also another swing set with bucket seats for safety. The entire play area was also designed with poured in place surfacing. It was chosen for its low maintenance, accessibility, and visual appeal.
