or more than 40 years, Landscape Structures has been committed to creating developmentally appropriate inclusive play experiences. Our original structures were designed in partnership with the early childhood development center at Iowa State University. Since then, we have designed and installed thousands of play spaces incorporating developmental standards put forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and safety standards defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Our PlayShaper®, Weevos® and PlaySense® playsystems support physical and cognitive development by following standard learning curricula for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Of course, they’re also designed to meet the unique safety needs of these age groups. Then we go a step further, ensuring that they minimize the total cost of ownership for you while maximizing the experience for kids. The great range of playsystems we offer can accommodate play spaces and budgets of any size. Look to your local Landscape Structures playground consultant to provide you with expert, personal guidance as you search for the perfect play solution. This is only a sampling of our early childhood products. To see the full breadth of what Landscape Structures offers, including a brilliant selection of color palettes, visit playlsi.com.
