The Early Childhood teachers at Wichita Collegiate School have been dreaming for years about creating a new outdoor play space worthy of children. Early in 2014 a team of teachers started putting those dreams into a written plan. With the help of a core group of engaged parents, the playground design committee began working with landscape designer Emmanuel Didier. Mr. Didier blended all of our ideas, hopes, and dreams into a meaningful design concept that will bring beauty and inspiration to our campus. This beautiful, engaging natural play space for 2-6 year-olds holds the heart of the child in highest regard. It will foster a love for nature, engage all of the senses, inspire creativity, and bridge learning from the classroom to the outdoors. The space will feature a variety of large motor activities, such as climbing, swinging, jumping and rolling down hills. The design also includes areas for science, gardening, dramatic play, art and open-ended play. A large covered patio for special events, picnics, outdoor games, basketball, jumping rope, hopscotch completes the design and creates a space with endless possibilities. We are excited to make this dream come true for the children of today and for generations to come.
