Once the decision to have a playground at a daycare or preschool has been made, it is important to have the correct equipment. In these settings, the ages and skills of the children will vary both within classes and among classes. So it is important to have equipment that addresses these needs. For younger children, cars that the children can use their feet to move are always good. Avoid motorized equipment as it defeats the purpose of physical exercise. Other good pieces of equipment for younger children are smaller slides and swings with a seat that fits around the entire lower portion of their body. Older children would generally prefer larger slides, traditional swings, forts and equipment with monkey bars. Another consideration for all ages would be to invest in a good outdoor castle or house. This will stimulate the imagination and help children of all ages to play together. An important consideration is the safety of any playground. Make sure that all equipment is located on a soft surface so that if a child falls, they will not hurt themselves as badly. Further, if you are buying used equipment, it is important to insure that all parts are in good working condition with nothing broken. Examine any of these pieces for signs of rust or pieces that could come off easily. Finally, once the equipment is purchased and installed, be sure to take good care of it so that pieces do not break and it does not become rusty.
