The center is woven into the building’s fabric: two classrooms have direct access to a new outdoor recreation space and a third connects through the residential lobby. The interactive courtyard features poured-in-place surfacing, a raised concrete sandbox, shade trees, bamboo plantings, gardening planters, and built canopies that provide protected play areas during inclement weather. Inside, open, flexible layouts, ample daylight, and warm, durable materials create welcoming and enduring early childhood spaces.
