Design Concept
The design of the international school encompasses both the indoor and outdoor areas and these two areas follow a sole design principle to establish a natural, green, and healthy school environment for children, facilitating their happy and scientific growth. Among them, the outdoor play area for kids contains two outdoor playgrounds used by different age groups, which adopt the theme of adventure and nature to create two outdoor playgrounds with different design functions and design purposes. The interior space includes the design of several classrooms and functional rooms, and the planning and layout of each interior space and the adapted children’s furniture are determined by the functional use of the interior space.
Functional Zone
The importance of international school libraries lies in the fact that they are not only a treasure trove of knowledge, but also an important place for students to obtain information and develop reading interests and skills. In this preschool library, the preschool library interior design uses premium school library furniture and high-quality bookshelves for this library design for kindergarten and preschool.
The importance of international school libraries is also reflected in the fact that they are a support system for students to conduct independent learning and research, therefore, the preschool library interior design is crucial. At the same time, Cowboy Group, a senior kindergarten furniture supplier, particularly pays attention to the elementary school library design and matches high-quality school library furniture to the open library, creating a premium library environment for kids. Through learning and practice in the school library, students can not only acquire knowledge but also learn how to obtain information and how to think critically, which are indispensable skills in future life and work.
Not like regular schools, this international school also includes an occupational therapy classroom 68 m², for disabled children or children with learning problems.
The school’s indoor playground is always important for preschool children, which makes the preschool playroom indispensable. The importance of school indoor playgrounds lies in providing diverse learning experiences, and promoting the comprehensive development of students’ physical, mental, and intellectual abilities while enhancing students’ safety awareness and improving their practical abilities. Allowing students to learn happily and enjoy the fun of learning.
Preschool outdoor playgrounds are of great significance to the physical and mental development of young children. Outdoor activities in preschool have many benefits for the growth and development of young children. First, preschool outdoor playground activities help young children get close to nature, and enjoy the sun and fresh air, which not only satisfies the nature of young children’s love of play and activity, but also helps to enhance their resistance, so that they can better adapt to environmental changes when the seasons change, and reduce illness. Preschool outdoor playground activities can also enhance children’s physical fitness and coordination ability, and help young children exercise and strengthen muscle strength through running, jumping, climbing, and other movements.
In addition, the outdoor playground environment provides young children with a broad vision and rich natural landscapes, which stimulates their curiosity and spirit of exploration, and cultivates observation and thinking abilities. In outdoor playground activities, young children can also play with other children, and share toys and experiences, which helps to build friendships and cultivate a spirit of cooperation. At the same time, the outdoor environment also provides young children with opportunities to express their emotions, such as observing and describing natural landscapes and communicating their preferences for toys.
Outdoor playground activities in kindergartens also include various games and sports, such as slides, sand pit, climbing games, water play, obstacle play games, outdoor sensory play games, etc. These kindergarten amusement games not only exercise children’s physical fitness, intelligence, and sensory coordination but also provide a platform for happy sports, allowing children to gain a sense of success and satisfaction in the game so that they can grow up healthily in sports.
Someone may ask “Is it necessary for primary schools to have outdoor play equipment?”Actually, the outdoor play equipment in primary schools has multiple benefits for the growth and development of students. First, Primary School Outdoor Play Equipment can promote students’ physical development, exercise students’ muscle strength, and improve body coordination and balance through activities such as climbing and sliding. For example, primary playground equipment such as climbing frames and slides can exercise students’ limb strength and flexibility, and also help improve their sense of balance and spatial perception. These outdoor playground activities not only contribute to students’ physical health but also lay a solid foundation for their growth.
Secondly, the primary outdoor play equipment provides students with a social place. By playing together, students can learn to share, cooperate, wait in line, and resolve conflicts, thereby cultivating teamwork spirit and communication skills. For example, the seesaw requires two or more children to participate together. Through cooperation and interaction, children can enhance their friendship with each other, and learn to coordinate strength and control rhythm.
In addition, primary outdoor play equipment can also stimulate students’ creativity and imagination. Open playground equipment, such as sand pits and building blocks, provide students with a platform to unleash their creativity and imagination. In the sand pit, children can build castles and dig tunnels with sand; in the building blocks area, they can build a variety of buildings and structures. Such activities help cultivate students’ innovation and problem-solving abilities.
Finally, primary outdoor play equipment can also help students relieve learning pressure. Primary school students face certain learning tasks and pressures. Appropriate play can give children’s brains a rest and allow them to devote themselves to subsequent learning in a better state.
In summary, the establishment of outdoor playground equipment in preschool & primary schools plays an important role in promoting students’ physical development, cultivating social skills, stimulating creativity, and relieving learning pressure, so it is very necessary. It can not only promote the healthy physical growth of children but also cultivate their social skills, observation, exploration spirit, and emotional expression ability.
