CHILDSERVE CHILD CARE CENTER
JOHNSTON, IOWA

The ChildServe Child Care Center provides care for approximately 150 children, ranging in age from newly born to six years old. A complete redesign of its existing playground area was in order to provide modern and unique amenities for the children as well as more integrated play opportunities for children requiring special needs. Programming goals for the new playground were not just limited to new equipment and play surfacing. One of ChildServe’s primary goals was the introduction of more natural play areas by integrating natural elements into the play areas. Natural elements, including large turf open play areas, berming, enhanced landscaping, and a variety of surfacing materials will provide tactile, sensory, and dramatic play areas that are not typical of traditional play grounds.
