Introducing the Solar Playground
A revolutionary way to bring playful learning to your schoolyard. Our innovative Solar Playground features 12 educational games, each available at 3 different levels, designed to get kids moving, thinking, and having fun. With a simple walk, jump, or run on our illuminated floor modules, children engage in dynamic, interactive play that takes up minimal space, making it perfect even for the smallest schoolyards.
the Solar Playground helps children become fitter, more social, and more aware of sustainable energy, all while having a blast. Ready to play?
The Playground as your teaching assistant
The Solar Playground gets kids moving without the need for supervision. In this way Solar Playground becomes the teaching assistant in the schoolyard. At more than 50 Dutch schools the Solar Playground is part of the curriculum. The interactive playground equipment ensures that children keep improving their motor and cognitive skills. It makes math fun and stimulates playing together. As part of the curriculum, the Solar Playground becomes your outdoor educational assistant!

Financing with NPO funds
With the National Programme for Education (NPO) the Dutch government contributes to the development of education in the Netherlands. The Solar Playground is a proven effective method that falls within the ministry’s menu. Movement-based learning has clear benefits for the cognitive and motor skills of elementary school children. This makes full funding with the NPO funds possible. And this is not only beneficial in the short term; with a lifespan of about 10 years, the Solar Playground also contributes to the development of education in the Netherlands in the long term!
