It was a pleasure doing business with T. F. Harper and Child’s Play Inc. The playground equipment we purchased will provide many decades of enjoyment for our students and community.

I appreciate your constant support though this endeavor. I always felt comfortable contacting you for guidance and assistance, even when we changed the original order. By coming to Higgins and marking the site you ensured an accurate fit of our playground equipment.

The Installation was worth its weight in gold. The crew efficiently installed our play system without any difficulty. They maintained a constant level of professionalism with our staff and students.

The Higgins Board of Education, faculty, staff, students and community express their sincere appreciation for a job well done.
