Generous & welcoming spaces for children to learn and play.
A purpose-built 2-storey early childhood education centre for 109 children.
4 toddler classrooms with sleep rooms, nappy change areas and dedicated art atelier spaces occupy the ground floor. These are connected via landscaped outdoor areas. Level 1 consists of 2 baby rooms with a dedicated outdoor deck area, and bookable utility for parent classes such a Pilates.
A mixture of brick and standing seam cladding were chosen to allow the building to sit comfortably within the surrounding residential neighbourhood. Splashes of yellow were used throughout to add playfulness to the façade, without overwhelming the building with primary colours.
