Playworld Systems Launches E-Commerce Site, PlayExplorers.com, Offering Playground Equipment for Early Childhood

Industry Leader Recognizes the Unique Needs of Early Childhood Customers and Responds With a Customized Website for Equipment Geared Toward Children Ages Five and Under


LEWISBURG, PA--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2014) -  Playworld Systems, a leading playground equipment manufacturer committed to saving outdoor unstructured play, today announced PlayExplorers™, a new e-commerce website featuring playground equipment for early childhood. The website will allow organizations to purchase commercial play structures for use by children five and under directly from Playworld Systems.

The website, www.PlayExplorers.com, was designed to make the purchasing process as streamlined as possible, providing early childhood customers with total control over their playground projects from start to finish. PlayExplorers allows visitors to easily filter the catalog of age-appropriate play structures to suit individual needs. Users can sort by product types (playgrounds, freestanding products and site furnishings), play experience (physical, sensory and social) and special requirements (ADA compliant, inclusive structures and ASTM and CPSC certified), as well as age range, and do-it-yourself installation ranked by level of difficulty and price.

"It's incredibly important for children to engage in outdoor unstructured play as young as possible," said Matthew Miller, chief executive officer of Playworld Systems. "Our mission at Playworld is to save unstructured outdoor free play -- not just because it's fun, but because it fosters children's physical, creative, cognitive, social and emotional development. These early years of childhood are a crucial time for kids to cultivate these lifelong skills."

PlayExplorers features Playworld Systems' popular early childhood products such as the Home Dome, PlaySimple®, PlayTown, Fun Centers™ and Spring Riders, the only playground equipment featured on the Science Channel's "How It's Made."

"PlayExplorers addresses the developmental needs of children under five years old, which is often an underserved audience," said Michael Laris, director of product development and strategies for Playworld Systems. "The products' climbing aspects let young children practice visualization and problem solving. Spinning sensations stimulate multiple areas of the brain, while jumping helps them recognize how their bodies fill up and interact with the space around them."

Playworld Systems is currently running an introductory offer where select PlayExplorers playgrounds will be sold for up to 50 percent off until December 12, 2014. Visit PlayExplorers.com for more information.
