playground monitor
Schoolyard safety adult
A playground monitor is an adult—typically a teacher, aide, or parent volunteer—who supervises children during recess or outdoor play periods at a school.
The role involves watching for safety hazards, mediating disputes, and enforcing rules: The playground monitor blew her whistle when kids climbed too high on the jungle gym.
