Active and independent play is important for a child's development in many areas. They help maintain emotional well-being, health and provide social opportunities for children to learn. Children with disabilities, unfortunately, aren’t provided the same opportunities when there are physical barriers in the play environment, causing social barriers to participation. We hope to build an inclusive playground at Coventry Hills school to remove these barriers.
All children deserve a place to feel safe, included and welcomed.
