Dear Friends,

Please add your voice to the conversation. We are eager to hear your ideas. Consider the guiding principles (see below) laid out by the Waynflete faculty and then help us develop the best play-spaces we can for our children. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Anne Hopkins, Lower School Director

Guiding Principals

• Our outdoor playscapes should reflect our LS values and support the development of the whole child- their physical, social, emotional selves- fostering joy, collaboration, creativity, imagination, problem solving, risk taking.
• Our playscapes should aim to be as flexible as the indoor spaces have been designed to be, so that as our needs and programs evolve, and the ideas of the children grow the possibilities, our spaces can evolve along with them.
• The opportunities for play should be multifaceted, providing for children the freedom to be playful, to move and to explore in wide and varied ways: climbing, swinging, sliding, hanging, sledding, digging, running, investigating, creating, building, designing, ............................
• Our playscapes should use natural materials and encourage connection and good stewardship of the natural world and the environment.

What would you add to the guiding principles for developing our outdoor playspaces?
