Learning through play
Our aquatic solutions are intentionally designed to provide opportunities for child development through play. Our iconic Splashpad® stimulates children’s sensory development through their interactions with sprays, streams and jets, and strengthens their motor skills by encouraging them to run, jump and dodge. Water play also cultivates cognitive skills like imaginative thinking, focus, planning, problem-solving and language development. These cognitive and physical skills then boost social skills as children develop the self-control and emotional awareness that allow them to play with others. We’ve also observed a positive impact on children with learning disabilities or physical disadvantages.
