Kindergarten Yard at Ecole Maple Elementary School

The Kindergarten Yard at École Maple Elementary School project entails a complete transformation of the outdoor space into a naturalized, child-friendly learning environment designed to support early childhood development. The contractor must perform thorough site preparation, including the demolition and removal of existing structures while preserving and properly storing current play equipment. Key civil and landscape elements include the installation of new paved walkways and concrete curbing to enhance circulation, the creation of designated planting areas, and the incorporation of natural play features such as wood playhouses, log balance beams, and steppers, all constructed to comply with current CSA safety standards for childcare settings. A new sand play area and an outdoor learning zone equipped for structured classroom activities will also be developed to expand educational opportunities beyond the classroom. The solicitation, identified as BT-RFQ 202600183, was posted on May 6, 2026, with a deadline for responses set for May 5, 2026. The project is managed by the Limestone District School Board under the Government of Canada, with Pauline Baker serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. All work must be performed at the school’s location, and the contractor is expected to adhere to safety, environmental, and quality standards throughout all phases of construction to ensure the space is safe, durable, and pedagogically effective for young learners.
