Preschools and kindergartens have experienced significant growth in recent years due to the increasing recognition of their role in children's development during their formative years. Working parents, who may not have the time to teach their children at home, rely on these institutions to provide a nurturing environment for their cognitive and physical growth. Freestanding playground equipment is a crucial component of these facilities, as they offer opportunities for children to learn through play. These schools promote socialization and the acceptance of diversity among children. The learning-through-play strategy is effective in enhancing a child's intelligence quotient and instilling good habits. Preschools also focus on teaching basic etiquette, moral values, and sharing skills. Additionally, they offer activities that help children recognize animals, fruits, and learn rhymes, preparing them for nursery school.

This trend is driving the global freestanding playground equipment market, as most preschools feature designated play areas for children. The market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period, as the number of preschools continues to increase.
