Splash Pool

The splash pool is an important facility at Ambassador kindergarten. As a part of early years of learning, water play helps in improving children’s balance, strength and motor skills thus increasing their chances of being more physically active in later life. Playing in water is like playing in a brand new playground where even the simplest activities, like clapping hands or jumping, throwing a ball in water are a whole new sensory experience.

Children can experiment without worrying about falling or crashing into hard surfaces. Water also adds resistance so water play activities work as strength training. It takes more muscle strength to move arms and legs through water than it does through air.

Water play allows children to explore and interact with each other. They enjoy splashing around and in the hot months it is indeed a relaxing and calming exercise for the children. The pool area is kept under lock and children are allowed pool time only under the supervision of teachers, classroom attendant and the pool attendant only.
