Children are now learning
bad grammar in the playground...
It's no surprise that children have trouble with grammar when they're exposed to basic mistakes like this from an early age.
The word "children" is plural so the playground is designed for use by more than one child, therefore an apostrophe is needed after the "s".

Once upon a time there was a tank engine with a bit of a penchant for capital letters.
Thomas might have some hope of becoming a "really useful engine" if he could only stop using capital letters unnecessarily.
Thomas's driver and fireman are important but not so important that their job titles require caps.
Pedantic, I know, but when you read the books a hundred times a day, you tend to notice these things.
...and even at the breakfast table.
Kellogg's Rice Krispies are kindly offering a free "kids swim" at the moment. It might be an idea to also offer a free kids' grammar lesson to help make up for this mistake.
