Why Choose NaturePlayscapes?
Childhood today is a vastly different reality to what childhood has been in the past. In the past regular access to the wilds and the outdoors sustained wellbeing and provided a place for learning and growth on all levels.
21st century children are spending daily, increasingly larger and disproportionate amounts of time in 'restrictive' environments often consumed by technology advancements.
Many children are faced with increased indoor time due to our current educational strategies, our relationship to learning and provisions for space.
Worldwide parenting and educational practices are being challenged so that they do not continue to create the conditions for the "over protected and under connected child” syndrome in a risk adverse world.
When children do get to ‘play outside’ play environments have often become exclusively focused on the physical development of the child and are limited in the ways they nourish and uphold the development of the imagination, the sensory capacities of the child, and the souls need to experience beauty.
