Channelling Energy through Play at Clanton Elementary

Supported by the state of Alabama, Clanton Elementary was determined to lead the way towards active, engaging learning experiences for their pre-K students. With great ideas in mind, they hoped to build a custom playground that would lead to grand adventures in a relatively small space.

Maintaining Focus Through Active-Learning

Clanton Elementary was not going to let the size of their play area get in their way! On a mission to connect the playground environment with the art of learning, this pre-K school set out to build an atmosphere that would spark their kids’ curiosity! They aimed to keep their students moving, encourage self-expression and equip their little ones with the tools they would need to recharge, reset, and focus when in class. After chatting to several playground equipment companies, they chose KidsTale as their partner in play!

Presenting our plans, the work was underway!

As soon as this Alabama-based elementary school chose our high-quality, affordable solutions, we immediately set to work. We began by listening to the needs of our client, and taking all ideas to the drawing board.

Uniting our clients’ vision with the minds of our creative team and the knowledge of our manufacturing and safety experts, we came up with a plan of action. We pieced together the best parts of play with a customized design. Then we took the plans to our manufacturing plant to get the project moving.

The Outcome

Inspired by our Minimo play series, we combined climbing with sliding, music making with crawling, and included all the ingredients of safe preschool adventure. Conscious of the negative impact of too much exposure to harmful UV rays, Clanton Elementary was keen to implement a cooler solution to outdoor play! Integrating sleek shade roofs, their youngsters can now play away to their heart’s content whatever the weather. Toddlers are natural explorers. So, we made sure to integrate both elevated and ground level structures that would be suitable for all their children from 2-5 years old. Mixing healthy challenges with sensory experiences, there is now something special for every student to enjoy.
Compact, colorful, and energy-boosting, the kids at Clanton have fallen in love with their new playground. To this day, we still work hand-in-hand with the school to craft fierce play adventures and keep their kids focused while they learn.

Connecting the Dots of Play

The bones bridge is great for kids both young and old. As your little warriors crawl along, run through, or hide in this colorful play connector, the magical world of their imaginations will come alive.

The Climbing Challenge

Encourage your youngsters to climb towards their goals whatever their age. Close to the ground, and great for gripping, the right climber can boost motor skills, present healthy challenges, and help your little ones to learn as they grow.

The Beat Bopper

Music can transform playgrounds big and small. If you’re short on space, you can pop a bongo or two on the end of your play posts and invite even your youngest kids to become part of the action-packed fun!
