SMART START has a new play structure that we are excited to tell you about! It is beautiful and highly equipped with a two story play house, twisty slide, glider, two toddler swings, two preschool swings, digging area with wood mulch, flower pots and rock climbing wall. We called in the best handy man in Andover to assemble our new addition to ensure that it was completely safe for our SMART START friends to play on and enjoy. The children had fun working together to complete the job and add on the finishing touches! They were eager to put on their yellow hard hats and use a variety of tools to get our play structure in tip top shape. SMART START construction workers hammered, screwed, drilled and planted beautiful flowers. Our young learners were so excited to be a part of the assembly process and were quite proud of themselves upon completion. We love watching them work together as a team and problem solve as they move from one project to the next.
SMART START engineers couldn't wait to play on the play structure after the assembly process was complete. The smiles were infectious and the laughter filled the air as the children played together in the play house, soared high on the swings, partnered up on the glider, zoomed the trucks around, scooped with the shovels, and twisted down the slide. They played well together and had a lot of fun! All their hard work and patience paid off and we were thrilled to see our newest addition come to life.
Not only are the children reaping benefits of physically challenging themselves on the equipment and perfecting their gross motor skills, they are engaging in imaginary play and working on their social and emotional skills as well. They are learning to take turns, include friends in play, use their manners and communication skills, problem solve, etc. While our students think they are simply having fun and just playing, learning is always at the forefront! Our new play structure is guaranteed to bring endless hours of fun to our young learners for many years to come!
