Developed in collaboration with the staff, Porter-Leath Early Childhood Academy | Frayser is designed to serve the education and development of children ages six weeks to five years. The building and site design create elements that represent the composition of music to create a visual fabric for the classrooms, community spaces, and play areas. Its child-friendly design utilizes natural light, musical elements, lush landscapes, and bright colors that enrich learning opportunities. The lobby captures the music theme with the patterned acoustic ceiling representing sheet music and pendant lights variously spaced at differing lengths mimic musical notes. Ample physical space and light allow children the ability to explore, learn and develop. Interactive learning spaces enhance reading, pretend play, art, math and science.
Dedicated adult amenities of the training center, observation bays, and audio/video technology further the professional development of educators. With kitchen facilities and collaboration spaces for staff, family service providers and parents, the building supports comprehensive childcare and the broader needs of families and the community. The flexible central multipurpose room can be used in myriad ways – from indoor play during inclement weather, to community classes. Sliding glass walls open to the lobby and extend the space for larger events.
