A reminder that the school age playground, (off the East side of the building) with its fun and challenging equipment, is specifically designed for kindergartners through 6th grade. You are welcome to allow your preschooler to play on this equipment ONLY if they are well supervised by you. If our Koncourse teachers (from the Landing ministry upstairs) bring their kindergarteners out to play, they may remind you of how important it is for you to monitor your child's safety on this equipment.
