Inspired by local park lands, the daycare’s interior design becomes a departure point where children can embark on their own learning journeys. Each classroom is marked by the outline of a park house that is colour coded to guide children to their classroom by age group. Within each class, age appropriate interactive wall elements encourage fine motor skills, teamwork, and creativity.

Natural wood tones are used in combination with bright colours assigned to each age group, creating a lively material scheme.

C& Partners Architects used their extensive experience to create a wayfinding scheme and aesthetic direction. Throughout the design wall graphics which spark the imagination will allow children and parents alike to enjoy a safe sense of place, evoking curiosity and infusing play in learning.
