This childcare center is designed to offer a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for young children. The layout includes spacious classrooms filled with natural light, interactive play zones, and cozy quiet areas for rest. Outdoor spaces feature age-appropriate play equipment and sensory gardens.

Due to the sloping site, significant design challenges were overcome, including creating level play areas and ensuring accessibility for children and staff. Retaining walls were strategically placed, and the building was stepped to follow the natural contours of the land, ensuring smooth transitions between levels. The slope was also used creatively to design a dynamic outdoor play area that encourages exploration while maintaining safety and stability.

The centre prioritises sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems, creating an environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
