Potential Announces Grand Opening of Unique Playground

Come to the grand opening of Potential’s new autism friendly and therapeutic playground, at 170 Pheasant Run, Newtown, PA, on Saturday, April 21, 2018 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Children will be able to use the playground and snacks and beverages will be available.

Kristine Quinby, Founder, President and CEO of Potential, expressed her excitement: “This is the culmination of a three year project. Our vision has been to create a world where every person with autism can lead a successful life of value. We wanted to make this securely-fenced playground available to the community, free of charge, during evenings and weekends, when it is not in use by our clients.

Learning to play (with others) and playing to learn (social interaction) is a real benefit to children with autism. Simple lesson plans will be available at the grand opening and on our web site for parents to use with their children.

We made sure that every piece of equipment was specifically geared to encourage interaction with other children, or enhance other skills in their development. Examples are the multi-child swing, ‘walk the plank’ balance beam, standing seesaw and dual slide.”

Funding for the project was obtained through private donations and grants from Foundations Community Partnership, The Provident Bank Foundation and the Bucks County Commissioners.
