Sun protection solutions for daycare centers and schools

Outdoor living is by no means limited to leisure time. Fresh air should also not be missing in kindergarten, school or other educational institutions. So that children, pupils and students can enjoy their time outside protected from the sun, the planning service of our markilux team : project also includes the field of daycare centers and schools. Since the outdoor areas of such facilities often have to meet special conditions and are often laid out over a larger area than a private garden, we are happy to share our experience in the areas of planning and implementing large-scale sun protection solutions. Individual consultation is very important to us. Coupled with professional installation by qualified specialist partners, this results in successful projects that put sandboxes, swings or schoolyards in the shade.

When the gong sounds, the masses of students stream out of their classes into the break hall, to the kiosk, or better yet, into the schoolyard. As oxygen levels in the classroom dwindle, so does concentration, so the break is a welcome change and respite. Outside, students can get a breath of fresh air and recharge their batteries for the lessons ahead.

In the younger grades, the urge to go outside is often even stronger and more independent of the weather than in the higher grades. Elementary school students need the break as a balance from learning to play and romp. Older students, on the other hand, often prefer to stay inside when the weather isn't really cooperating. With a well thought-out sun and weather protection solution, the outdoor break becomes attractive at (almost) any time.

Even outside of break times, markilux awning systems can add value to the outdoor areas of schools. As an alternative to the classic classroom, models such as markilux markant can be used to create entire outdoor classrooms. Lessons in the fresh air, protected from the sun's rays, are a highlight for students and, thanks to the change of perspective from indoors to outdoors, bring zest and variation to the school day.

With the right sun and weather protection, the play space available to children in the daycare center or kindergarten can be expanded. Regardless of the weather and season, children can develop more freely outside and are not limited to the interior of the daycare center. In addition to the classic activities such as handicrafts and painting, there is also the opportunity to discover nature outside and to move around without restrictions. This makes the day in the kindergarten varied and balanced.

Spending time outside is important and beneficial for children's development. Outside the inside of the daycare center or kindergarten, which is protected from the weather, children learn to adapt to different situations. No matter what the weather, new exciting activities can always be found. Playing in nature encourages creativity and a spirit of discovery. Children are thus encouraged to engage with their surroundings, which also benefits their mental development.

Playing in the fresh air, outside the closed rooms, should nevertheless take place within a protected framework. For this reason, a well thought-out concept for the outdoor area of daycare centers or kindergartens is essential. Even though children should spend time outdoors all year round, kindergarten activities take place outside, especially in the summer. To protect against intense sunlight, markilux awnings and awning systems help provide a safe playground for children. The markilux team : project works with you to develop individual solutions that meet your requirements and provide optimum shade for the existing area.

Exercise, play, fun: children want to go outside - and there they should be optimally protected.

For children, aggressive sun rays are particularly dangerous. Our awning covers in sunsilk and sunvas quality offer the highest possible UV protection for textiles with UPF 50+. The skin's own protection is supported by more than 50 times. This means that children can stay outside for long periods without being exposed to direct sunlight. This keeps playing in the fresh air healthy instead of harmful.

Whether freestanding awning systems, patio or vertical blaindings - a markilux designer awning offers the perfect shade and security for young and old.

It's all very well for things to get colorful in kindergarten. Not only when the children give free rein to their own creativity. The architecture and design are also often thought out from the children's point of view and adapted to their needs. With our colour on demand service, there are no limits to the colorful design of the outdoor area.

Do you want a specific colour for your awning? Then have a plain white fabric cover from the sunvas collection dyed in your preferred RAL color. In addition to the fabric cover, the frame can of course also be produced in the desired color. This will make children's eyes shine and create a beautiful atmosphere for your kindergarten or daycare center.
