How School Grounds and Parks Impact Children
It is important for our children to enjoy recess and have those happy moments playing chase and ball. Recess in particular offers benefits that a structured gym class and sports cannot: promoting innovation and creative thinking. The grounds surrounding a school should look lush, green, and inviting to students and their parents, encouraging mental ease and confidence. To ensure the beauty of New York State grounds we offer full seeding deep tine aerating and top dressing of sports fields.
Apart from academics are the all-important sports programs of a school. Sports foster in children confidence, independence, and teamwork—all skills that will be used throughout their lives whether on the field, in the classroom, or in an office years later.
The regular physical activity offered by sports, gym class, and recess benefits children in many ways, especially through building and maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and joints, as well as helping control weight a reduce the incidences of childhood obesity.
Physical activity is even associated with improved academic achievement, including grades and standardized testing scores. Activity affects cognitive skills, concentration, attention, and behavior—all direct components to test taking and complex thinking.
Of course, in order for competitive sports to be played and enjoyed, there must be the proper equipment and landscape required. At Alternative EarthCare we specialize in renovating and maintaining sports’ fields.
