Thanks for visiting The Adventurous Child, a play equipment manufacturer dedicated to children and early childhood education through preschool outdoor play. The Adventurous Child specializes in outdoor classrooms and children's outdoor playground equipment featuring environmentally-friendly recycled plastic. The Adventurous Child has been designing children's outdoor playground equipment since 1986.

Our outdoor play and learning products support and encourage the state’s Early Learning Standards. Visit each of our product pages to discover what the children are learning when they play at the Playground Art Easel, Preschool Balance Beam, Preschool Chime Panel, Preschool Woodworking Center and more. No one said learning couldn’t be fun! From our Sand and Water Play Table to our unique Preschool Drum Set, we have a range of outdoor play equipment to accommodate the needs of your organization.

The Adventurous Child products are created by Certified Playground Safety Inspectors. Our outdoor play equipment is designed using the safety and accessibility guidelines stated by The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.

We ship our finely crafted outdoor playground equipment and learning products anywhere in the continental U.S. Detailed installation instructions and Early Learning Standards are included with each shipped product.

We design, manufacture and install outdoor classrooms throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. This process begins with a Master Site Plan, which factors in all aspects of your site (space, utilities, slope, soil drainage, traffic patterns, supervision, obstructions, shade, fence, etc.) as well as your organization’s goals for outdoor play and learning. Please contact us to schedule an appointment with The Adventurous Child designer.

We are proud and excited to be celebrating our 24th anniversary this year.

Our focus is to provide outdoor playground equipment that meets each state’s Early Learning Standards and provide children with fun environments.  Our passion is to help create outdoor classrooms that are learning places, just like the indoors—full of fun, free play and the ability to meet the state’s current Early Learning Standards.

As an outdoor classroom and outdoor play equipment company, our number one core value is to make people happy — our customers, our staff and anyone with whom we come in contact. Secondly, everyone at The Adventurous Child is part of the same team — we work together to support each other so we can effectively support our customers. Thirdly, we strive for continuous improvement — of ourselves and our children's outdoor playground equipment designs, products, service and customer relationships.

The customer thank you notes, testimonials and referrals for the last 24 years tell me that our customers are grateful for our values.
