Omaha, Nebraska
When Elite Learning Academy & Preschool in Omaha, Nebraska, needed outdoor playspaces to match their commitment to excellence in early childhood education, they created something extraordinary — three distinct play areas that grow with children from their first steps through elementary school.
The thoughtfully designed space features turf surfacing with dedicated areas for every developmental stage: 6-23 months, 2-5 years and 5-12 years. Each area includes age-appropriate equipment protected by ShadePlay® Max structures, ensuring comfortable play even during the sunniest days — the kind where childhood memories are made and afternoon naps are earned.
Two Nucleus Evolution® structures anchor the main play areas — one scaled for preschoolers discovering their world and another challenging elementary-aged adventurers. The Synergy Imagination 4ME® adds creative, imaginative play that brings stories to life. Strategic fencing creates distinct areas while maintaining visual connection across the entire playground, allowing staff to supervise effectively while children play and develop at their own pace.
What sets Elite's playspace apart isn't just the equipment — it's the intentional design that recognizes how children grow and develop. Parents searching for quality childcare immediately see the investment in outdoor learning and playspaces that support the whole child. Elite even reports that families often mention the playground during tours, noting how it reflects the center's overall commitment to childhood development.
The exclusive Burke representative partner for Nebraska, Creative Sites, helped bring this vision to life.
