new imagination playground comes to bhma

Bais Menachem Hebrew Academy is proud to announce the acquisition of a brand-new state-of-the-art Imagination Playground in a Box. The Imagination Playground reaches in to the children's imagination and provides them with a free-style, and interactive enviorment. Traditional playgrounds consist primarily of fixed equipment, such as slides, monkey bars and teeter-totters, all of which focus on developing children’s gross motor skills. Imagination Playground, on the other hand, is an interactive, transformable environment that prompts children to manipulate their environment and create a playspace of their own. Imagination Playground addresses a broader spectrum of play needs through opportunities for fantasy play and socio-cooperative play, in addition to more traditional running, jumping and climbing. BMHA would like to thank Dr. Zvi and Monica Yaniv for sponsoring a large portion of the playground. Another partial sponsor is still needed, if you are interested in supporting this wonderful project for our students please call 512-977-0770 or email contact@chabadaustin.com. For more information see their web site: http://imaginationplayground.com/ Join us on Feb. 5th for the Family FunDay: Shabbat to inaugurate the new Imagination Playground.
