Our new playground at BestStart Tawa
The Toddlers Room at BestStart Tawa have a new playground! We are all so very excited, as over the past two weeks we have been eagerly watching and waiting from inside as the landscapers ripped up our old outdoor environment, including the astro turf, concrete, moving plants and trees, parts of the sandpit, and even taking down bits of our fence to get a digger and truck into what was our playground.
Thankfully, the weather was on our side, which meant the landscapers were able to get on with it! As time went on, our outdoor environment started to come together, which included brand new safety matting laid, brand new astro turf rolled out, new gardens, both on the ground and in planter boxes and even a concrete spot laid for the front of our sandpit and water play area.
While there was no playing out in our playground, the Toddlers Room tamariki were able to visit Preschool's playground and our back play space for a good run around, vitamin D and fresh air. Throughout the day there was lots of conversation and learning opportunities that linked back to what tamariki could see or had seen happening in our outdoor environment and play space.
