21 Aug 2024
A Ricky Richards case study at Goodstart Early Learning, Elara.
In the pursuit of creating safe and inviting environments for children, Goodstart Early Learning in Elara has taken a significant step forward by incorporating Coolshade, a high-performance shade textile, into their outdoor play area. Installed by Sydney Sail Shade, this innovative solution addresses a critical need for shade and protection while enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.
PRIORITISING CHILD SAFETY AND COMFORT
At Goodstart Early Learning, ensuring the safety and well-being of children is paramount. The outdoor play area is a place where kids can explore, learn, and engage with their surroundings. However, exposure to the harsh Australian sun can pose a serious risk of skin damage and overheating. To mitigate these risks, the centre has turned to Coolshade, a textile designed specifically to provide effective shade and high UVR protection.
Coolshade is engineered to block harmful UV rays, significantly reducing the risk of skin damage while maintaining a comfortable temperature for children to play safely. The fabric allows for moderate airflow, ensuring that the area remains well-ventilated and comfortable even on hot days. Moreover, Coolshade allows some natural light to filter through, preserving the vibrant and cheerful atmosphere essential for an enriching play experience.
Sustainability is also a standout feature of Coolshade, as it is 100% recyclable. It is also resistant to mould and mildew, and heat set to ensure that the structure and shape are retained when cutting and installing. To give you even more piece of mind, Coolshade is backed by a 12-Year Warranty, covering you in more ways than one.
ENHANCING THE PLAY ENVIRONMENT
One of the standout features of Coolshade is its ability to create an inviting and visually appealing environment. Unlike traditional shade structures that can feel imposing or obstructive, Coolshade is designed to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Its breathable design ensures that the play area maintains a clear view of the outdoors, allowing children to stay connected with nature while being protected.
Ricky is on a crusade to cover every outdoor area in Australia, to protect communities and make being in the outdoors safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
