Now at Columbia City: Sensory Playground, designed for kids with diverse needs (joining Lake City)!
We are very happy and proud to announce that Sensory Playgrounds are expanding to SGA Columbia City – joining Lake City in this wonderful program!
Our Sensory Playground sessions are designed for children with special educational needs and disabilities to explore gymnastics in their own way and at their favored speed. Neurodiverse learners, those with developmental differences, or any kids with sensory needs who would benefit from a quieter atmosphere, fewer sensory distractions and extra gym adaptations are welcome to attend.
Sensory Playground is a single-serving event (register / attend only the events you want to come to!) in an open-gym style. Participants can play in their own way, at their own pace (following our safety rules, of course) on all our fun equipment; including soft foam pits, squishy mats, bouncy trampolines, low balance beams, a big springy floor, bars for hanging, and so much more!
We believe strongly that Sensory Playground is a valuable asset for a community to be able to access an environment and equipment that may not be typically accessible. We know how far a bit of physical activity and holistic movement goes for benefitting overall wellbeing, added to a controlled social setting where kids can just be themselves and have fun. We hope to play a small part in helping to provide that opportunity in a comfortable setting for all kids.
Perhaps your child does not require access to Sensory Playground, but if you know anyone / groups that could benefit, we’d be extremely grateful for your help in spreading the word for us to reach them.
