A SERIOUS SAFE PLACE TO PLAY - Balancing the demands of both professional and personal lives can sometimes prove quite challenging — especially so for new parents. This newly renovated daycare can’t remedy all those challenges but it does solve one of biggest – providing peace of mind during working hours by giving infants and toddlers a modern, safe and secure home away from home.
Having been out of operation since 2008, the previous daycare space was extremely worn, tired, outmoded and not conducive to modern day child-care standards. CWA changed all that through sweeping design improvements that transformed many of spaces challenging components into compelling design elements. The end result provides the children with safety and security as well as a creative and imaginative setting; a place that eases the anxieties of separation for children, parents and staff alike.
Highlights feature a crenelated corridor wall painted in an accent color connects the spaces in a way that creates a sense of mystery around every bend. Muted colors and subtle patterns delineate the resilient flooring in high traffic areas while cork plank flooring provides comfort to the children where they are most likely to play. The acoustical tile ceilings include recessed indirect/direct lighting so the ceiling heights are maximized. The naturally landscaped, sloping exterior play area focuses on an elliptical sand pit encircled by a concrete tricycle track that narrows in width as it follows the sand pit shape.
“The space turned out better than I could have dreamed it – It’s just spectacular.”
