In a joint project, O.K. Before & After School and O.V. Jewitt Community School developed a natural playscape area for the children of the childcare centre, the school, and the community. While conventional playgrounds generally cater to active physical play, this is only a small portion of the play that children enjoy. Natural playscapes provide opportunities for the full range of play possibilities from dramatic social play to quiet creative play. The flexibility and changing nature of natural playscapes create endless opportunities for open-ended play and discovery.
