EXTERIOR AND LANDSCAPE

It has been observed since time immemorial that a human being is most
receptive at the stages of infancy and childhood. It has also been observed
that a humans cognitive skills develop and sharpen on experiences from
his/her surroundings of dwelling.

EURO KIDS is a chain of pre-schools with branches all over India.

The school branch that we visited did not display a whole plethora of
impressive landscaping or exterior building front, yet it was warm
and welcoming in its own way.

In the context of a kindergarten when children are at their most receptive

age group, the schools landscape can play a very significant role in
molding a childs outlook towards nature and world on the whole.

SOFT SURFACE

Thus, apart from just the classrooms being attractive, the building
faade, the playgrounds, parks and gardens in a kindergarten are
required to be welcoming and interesting for the students.

OBSERVATIONS

Out of the 35% (app.) area left, about 10% was utilized
for gardens and outdoor play.
Since the children in play school werent allowed playtime
outside, there were only a few selected outdoor play implements
put to use.

OBSERVATIONS
The parent entrance to the school which is a wide iron door is
decorated with brightly coloured charts and posters.
Adjoining the wooden door entrance is a 14 feet wall that is
centrally fitted with glass.
The student entrances are secured with the help of sliding iron
grills.
The ground outside is covered with cement tiles. The edge of the
small garden is faced with checkered concrete tiles.
Swings, jungle gyms and sand pits are the only playing
implements that are put to use. There, also, is a two feet deep
water pool for water related play.

 The kindergarten premises lacked in a numerous ways too.

The building was considerably large and there wasnt enough
space for people to move around.
The garden was unattractive and placed at an awkward angle
which provided hindrance to the in the path of the play area.
