The Childcare Center is an inclusive and innovative space that will promote social interaction, connection to nature, safety, and sustainability. Through carefully designed environments, children are nurtured and challenge while fostering positive relationships and a sense of belonging. With a focus on holistic development and environmental consciousness, the Childcare Center provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for every child. Thew project will be able to accommodate 150 children from infants to Pre-K.

The oval-shaped learning environment was designed to promote interaction and engagement between children and their surroundings.  The central courtyard features various play areas visible from classrooms. Sustainable features include rainwater harvesting, solar panels, indoor air quality strategies and abundant day lighting.

The building plan provides a layering of security and exploration; from the classrooms to the interactive corridor, to the central courtyard, and finally the surrounding park area. The focus on promoting a connection to nature is designed to help foster a love for the natural world and help the children develop a sense of environmental responsibility.
