The center is designed for 46 infants (6 months to 1 year), 72 younger toddlers (1-2 years), 72 older toddlers (2-3 years) and 160 preschool children (3-5 years).

The child care center is organized as a one story cluster building, ensuring a safe and easily accessible environment for children.

In order to provide a safe outdoor play area for children, outdoor classrooms and play area are provided in the courtyard surrounded by classrooms.

The layout is thoughtfully designed to cater to four di erent age groups. Each group has its own designated teaching area, equipped with age appropriate furnishings and play equipment that encourage physical activity and skill development.

Teaching areas were connected with common spaces, such as public, administrative, and service areas.

The exterior walls were covered with wooden planks to create the effect of connecting with nature. Materials that connect with nature promote a sense of relaxation and provide children with a familiar feeling of being at home.
