DESIGN

All children are capable of extraordinary things! Bahrs Scrub Early Learning is designed to manage and understand the balance between education, care, play and ‘Wildhood’.

From the front door to the back fence, the building has been designed to form a solid foundation from which children can interact with the environment, entertain themselves and prepare them for the next steps in their learning.

The centre embodies ‘real play’ where shoes are optional and getting dirty is compulsory. It was about returning children to their ‘Wildhood’ while also providing a sense of place bringing the kids together and connecting the spaces to create meaningful experiences.

Raymond Design specialises in the design and documentation of small to large scale residential projects, multi-unit and high rise developments, large scale commercial projects and is an industry leader in the planning and design of childcare and early learning centres right across Australia, and has worked internationally in New Zealand, Japan, the USA, Canada and China.
