Essentials Play Solutions for Preschool
2-5 Play Packages
Play and growth are intertwined. Children’s physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and creative development is not only supported by play, but is developed through play. Evidence clearly demonstrates that play, apart from being great fun, is fundamental for all areas of child development, which is why it is so important for preschool-age children. Based on research documented by our KOMPAN Play Institute, free outdoor play in well-planned play areas is key to improving the physical activity level of preschoolers.
Let us help you find the right solution for the 2-5 year old children on your playground.
Base Level
The Coach Package, featuring a simple and elegant design, is packed with play value and fits on a footprint just over 400 square feet. The double slide is specifically designed for social interaction, which supports cooperation and turn-taking skills. Sliding additionally trains the sense of balance and trunk stability of preschool children, which supports general movement stability. Have some extra space? Add two KOMPAN classics, the Hen Springer and the Junior Spica, and bring endless joy to your playground with this package.
Alpine Level
The Sprinter ups the fun factor of any play area with not two, but three slides. With so many opportunities to climb and slide, children will develop important physical and social skills while playing longer outdoors. Climbing supports cross-coordination, which leads to increased readiness for reading, and open spaces throughout the structure also encourage socialization. Perfect additions to the Sprinter package are the Junior Spica, a ground-level play panel, and some swings!
Summit Level
This Trouper Package offers varied play activities and social opportunities for all. From the elevated level, multiple slides provide thrilling heights and speeds, alone or with a friend. Sliding builds a sense of balance, which is fundamental to all other motor skills–enhancing children’s self-efficacy and their feeling of achievement. The Villa Playhouse and the Combi Swing provide the ideal complements to this package.
