Project Description

Abington Friends School had completed plans for a children’s garden, Nature Playground, adjacent to their early childhood classrooms. MA&D was hired to create a place for open-ended, physical play that would anchor the garden experience.

It needed to reflect the Reggio-informed learning principles that form the core of the school’s philosophy: child-directed, direct contact with nature, and welcoming for the whole family. Working closely with school administrators and early childhood faculty, we created the Garden Station which supports the widest range of outdoor play.
