Description

Children are naturally curious about everything! Our most important job is to nurture this curiosity and build these learning processes into our aquatic spaces. We need to instill our children with a sense of curiosity so that they seek out new experiences and develop the right skill set for the 21st century. The curiosity cycle is an evolving learning model that teaches children to challenge and refine their environments through discovery and mastery.

With the widespread decline in unscheduled outdoor play time, it is more critical than ever that children of all abilities have access to safe, engaging play spaces that respond to the cycle of curiosity and positive child development.
