The Importance of Soft Play Training in Indoor Playgrounds
Soft play environments are more than just play areas. These spaces, which include obstacles like foam pits and climbing frames, encourage children’s motor skill development and creative play. However, without adequate safety protocols, these features can become a risk. Here’s where SIOTO provides critical solutions. Our industry-compliant programs prepare facilities to meet national safety expectations.
Training Ensures Comprehensive Safety for Soft Play Centers
The importance of soft play training is something every facility should prioritize. Staff must grasp the dynamics of soft play structures and proper oversight.

Our certification acknowledged by ASTM and the CPSC highlights our authority in the soft play safety space.
Key Safety Challenges in Soft Play Centers and SIOTO's Solutions
Soft play centers face ongoing safety concerns that, if not addressed properly, can pose serious hazards. One of the biggest issues is improper supervision. Children can often wander unsupervised, resulting in falls and injuries. SIOTO’s training emphasizes how to organize supervision zones and high-traffic play areas.
Another frequent issue is equipment maintenance. Wear and tear on foam blocks, mats, and nets can lead to equipment failures. Our training teaches how to spot worn-out equipment and replace it.
Handling Environmental Risks: Temperature, Humidity, and Hygiene
Indoor playgrounds often suffer from poor air quality, humidity, or inadequate ventilation. Uncontrolled indoor environments can create health risks in play areas.
SIOTO’s training provides actionable guidelines to create a well-ventilated and healthy indoor play setting. Our goal is to make your center a place where children can play safely without environmental concerns.
