Playgrounds

At The Goddard School®, we take playtime very seriously, which is why our Schools have the perfect outdoor play spaces that provide your child with the freedom to explore and discover the great outdoors. Our fun, safe playgrounds encourage the kind of imaginative play that makes childhood magical.

We adhere to strict Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards to ensure your child is safe and the playgrounds are secure. Each piece of equipment is installed by a certified playground safety inspector, and all the play spaces and outdoor classrooms are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design.

Specifically designed for younger children, infant and toddler playgrounds are the perfect space for the littlest learners to experience the world outdoors. These spaces feature a safety surface, shade area and a playground structure that’s just the right size for infants and toddlers to safely explore.

The imaginative play continues on the preschool and school-age playgrounds, which are designed for children ages 30 months to 12 years old. With a safety surface, shade area and playground structure, older children will have endless fun as they play and grow.

Children ages five to twelve have endless opportunities to run, jump and climb on the school-age playgrounds. These spaces feature a safety surface, shade area and a playground structure perfect for older children.
