Recently our church daycare, His Kids Academy, began raising money for a $50,000 playground expansion. The daycare has been in business for nine years as a Christian childcare center that focuses on Biblical curriculum, Christian teachers and Christian values.
We have had many become involved in our church through the ministry of the daycare. Though our classroom facilities are clean and functional our playground area needs work. The goal is to create play areas that are for every age group. Once the playground is done we will have three areas that are designed specifically for the developmental needs of each child. We believe that playgrounds are important to the development of children.
Playgrounds . . .
| -Provide opportunities to achieve confidence and self-esteem -Encourage interaction with others -Help develop imagination, creativity and social skills -Raise levels of strength, agility, flexibility and coordination |
Most of all it provides healthy interaction in a Christian environment.
We decided to buy playground equipment that would last, no wood allowed. All of our pieces will be purchased through www.gametime.com. The steel has a lifetime warranty and the plastics are rated for 15 years and can be replaced in the future if need be.
The total project is $50,000 and we have already received $21,000 towards the project.
