Holland Park Kindergarten prides itself on providing children with a supportive, spacious, and well-equipped environment designed to effectively support their early childhood development. Physical movement is critical for developing children’s gross and ?ne motor skills, social skills and enhancing their overall physical and general health. Swings are also an extremely important tool for children with neurodiverse needs, providing vestibular input and a calming effect.
The funds raised from this raffle will go towards the purchase of new outdoor equipment to compliment our unique environment. With ground works recently completed we now have a larger grassy area where "field" games can be played, encouraging both physical and emotional development. We would like to purchase the necessary equipment for this style of game, such as soccer goals, footballs, cricket sets, tossing games etc, to improve the breadth of opportunity for the children to develop various physical/gross motor skills.
Our newly installed playground (funded by the Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor's Better Suburbs Grant), will also require additional interchangeables that can be installed and swapped around depending on the needs of the particular cohort, so some of the funds would also go towards the interchangeable components.
