Enjoyable Outdoor Play Area for Our Littlest

Help me give my students who are only four years old, a freestanding fence that will allow them to have an enjoyable designated outdoor area to play and learn in.

My Project

The freestanding fencing I am asking for is very needed for our 3 UTK classes for outdoor learning playtime and recess. Currently, our 4-year-old UTK students have to share a play area with 55 other Kindergarten students. It is a large area and often the little ones wander off or become upset because they are feeling overwhelmed by the clamor of so many students. It is their first experience of being at school and learning to socialize and follow rules can be challenging for them. Additionally, the older students often bother them by going into their area using the UTK play equipment, taking their toys, and playing rough with them.

The fencing would create a designated area and provide these students with a sense of comfort, security, and a safe structured area to play and learn in.

I am asking for a little help so students can enjoy being outside playing games and socializing.
