Playground
Lamplighter's new Outdoor Learning Center opened in May 2023. The space was designed using the theme of "WONDER," inspiring students to strengthen their motor skills as well as their imaginations through creative play.
The Outdoor Learning Center was designed by New York-based landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh. Each play element was custom-designed for our school by MONSTRUM playground designers in Denmark.
