Outdoor play is crucial for physical and social development for all young children, but especially for children at risk. The Renovators adopted the playground at Park Hills Early Learning Center in Spartanburg School District 7, a school recently established to serve the most at-risk zero to four year olds in the school district. After researching best practices, we raised $4,800 through corporate sponsorship to provide age-appropriate playground equipment that promotes social, cognitive and physical development of young children. We also facilitated corporate sponsorship to landscape the playground into a thriving “outdoor classroom.”
