Kindy, Early Childhood Centres and Primary Schools

Colour is an essential building block of early childhood education; colours are the first stage in advancing children’s ability to understand abstract concepts. Bright, engaging playgrounds advance learning and health at this important stage of development.

 

Colour and shapes aid cognitive development in young children

Hunters hill ps multisport after2Children see colour and shapes all around them from birth and are drawn to bright colours instinctively.

Learning about colour is a precursor to learning about the rest of their world, including more abstract concepts such as numbers and letters.

TigerTurf’s Kindy surfaces, developed especially for early childhood centres, can turn every area into an opportunity to learn.

Taiaotea Kindergarten used a clear green TigerTurf Envy landscape lawn with our TigerPad safety pad beneath in the swing area.  The Envy lawn acts as a clear visual cue to make children aware of the swing area and are taught to wait at the edge of the green lawn for their turn on the swing or to walk around the edge at a safe distance from the swings.

Using colour to create one court for several sports

When there are several sports to be accommodated and space is limited, multi-sport Dscf3770courts work brilliantly for school, community, and home use. With the clever use of colour, one multi-sport court can be used for several different sports.

  • For durable, high-performance hard courts for tennis, netball, and basketball we generally use fibrillated turfs such as Classic, Tournament, and Elite which come in a range of different colour options. 
  • To produce durable, softer surfaces that are great for hockey, as well as being soft enough for recreational football, futsal, and playgrounds, our texturised surfaces such as Wett Pro, Evo Pro, Trophy and Advantage use advanced monofilament technology in a range of strong colours defining the different sporting codes while combining them into one area.

Secondary Schools and Community Sports Centres

We can advise you about the combinations of sports that are popular with different age groups.

When you have decided which sports will be the most popular with your school community, we will discuss the best turf or combination of turfs and colour options for your needs.
