Cliff climbing frames are more than just play furniture – they are deeply rooted in proven educational approaches that support children’s holistic development.

Here’s how Cliff aligns with key pedagogical methods:


Montessori – Free Play & Independent Movement

Montessori education emphasizes self-directed activity and independent movement.

Cliff supports exactly that: children explore the climbing frame at their own pace and according to their interests.

Scientific principles important in Montessori are reflected in the different climbing positions, natural materials like wood, and a wide range of accessories.


For children aged 3 and up, Cliff balance beams provide diverse sensory stimuli to support holistic development.


Pikler – Early Childhood Development

Pikler pedagogy focuses on early development, with an emphasis on autonomy and a nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to explore objects freely and use them independently, without adult instruction.

Cliff PRO supports age-appropriate, independent movement with increasing levels of difficulty.


Accessories can be used creatively, not just for their intended purpose, allowing children to experiment and gain valuable insights into their body, its functions, and spatial awareness.


Psychomotor Skills – Mind-Body Connection

Psychomotor development connects physical activity with emotional and cognitive processes.

It strengthens the integration of movement, sensory perception, social skills, thinking, and awareness.


Cliff products promote age-appropriate movement through play, helping children grow physically and mentally while having fun.


Waldorf – Self-Confidence and Inner Strength

Waldorf education fosters self-confidence and emotional security to help children reach their full potential.

Our foldable Cliff FLEX climbing frame is specially designed for toddlers and respects the unique developmental stages of early childhood.

With Cliff, children explore their bodies and capabilities in a safe environment.


Through various physical activities and challenges, they learn to overcome obstacles and solve problems on their own.
