How We Design Playrooms That Grow With Your Child

One space. Many ages. Countless ways to play.

As parents, we invest so much into our kids' growth — from swim lessons and sports teams to tutoring and healthy meals. But what if your home itself could support their development?

At Wild Child, we design custom playrooms that evolve with your family — giving your kids a place to move, regulate, and connect from toddlerhood through the teen years.

Our playrooms aren’t just stylish. They’re intentionally crafted for longevity, gross motor development, and sensory input. The padded floors, climbing walls, swings, and foam pits we install serve your child’s needs at every stage — and yes, everything we hang from the ceiling is mounted with carabiners and ceiling hardware so it can grow with your child, too.

You can start with a baby swing for your toddler, then easily switch it out for a yoga swing or trapeze bar as your child gets older. That’s the Wild Child difference: design that adapts.

The Toddler Phase: First Steps, Big Impact

When children are learning to crawl, walk, and scoot, every surface matters. Our playrooms are created to be safe zones for this stage of exploration:

  • Foam pits offer gentle support for scooting and pulling up

  • Padded flooring makes crawling, cruising, and tumbles safer

  • Low climbing walls become confidence-boosters — even if they only make it a few holds up

  • Toddler swings offer soothing vestibular input and full-body support

The Elementary Years: Energy, Strength & Sensory Play

As kids grow, their energy becomes boundless — and their movement needs shift. This is where purposeful design becomes essential:

  • Foam pits become landing zones for jumps, flips, and climbing wall dismounts

  • Padded floors are now the stage for basketball dunks, sibling wrestling, and trampoline-style play

  • Climbing walls offer endless variation — kids build their own routes using different colored holds

  • Traditional swings support stronger bodies while still providing sensory benefits

Tweens & Teens: A Space That Still Works for Them

Just because they’re older doesn’t mean they stop needing movement — or a space to feel like themselves. Our favorite playrooms are the ones where teens still show up. When designed thoughtfully, these spaces support physical health, emotional well-being, and social connection — even when the toys are long gone.

  • Foam pits become hangout spots — we’ve seen teens “hot tub it,” gathering with friends to laugh, talk, and decompress after school

  • Climbing walls offer physical challenge and core strength — especially for teens who love a friendly competition

  • Yoga swings are used for more than just regulation — many older kids experiment with aerial yoga moves or chill out after practice

  • Padded floors become safe zones for stretching, strength training, or even goofing around with siblings and friends

  • The entire space encourages exercise, movement, and play — without feeling “kiddy” or off-limits

Whether they’re in sports, theater, or just need a place to sprawl with a friend, Wild Child playrooms give older kids a place where their whole selves are welcome.

Built to Adapt: One Investment, Years of Use

What makes Wild Child playrooms different? We design forward. From adjustable swing hardware to modular climbing holds and long-lasting materials, every detail is chosen for its adaptability.

  • Our playrooms are just as functional for a one-year-old as they are for a 13-year-old

  • Every space we design supports emotional regulation, gross motor skills, and creativity

  • And the best part? It grows with your family — so you can feel great about the investment
