Transforming the Kindergarten Experience by Design: A Comparative Research Case Study
2020, Journal of Education and Learning
Kindergarten education is becoming a priority throughout the USA as research shows its importance on later in life outcomes. The State of Washington instated full-day kindergarten for all public-school students beginning in 2016-2017. It "…is part of the state's constitutionally protected definition of 'Basic Education'" (Reykdal, n.d., n.p.), working to support all children in the state. Acting on this new state requirement, one school district chose to design and build a center dedicated solely to kindergarten education, housing approximately 600 kindergarteners. The school was divided into four 'neighborhood pods' each with immediate access to specific activity programs (i.e., dining, interventionists, elective functions) reflecting a new 'expanded push-in' model and reduce transition times. This model was compared with a 'traditionally' operated kindergarten where learners travel to activity programs throughout a campus (i.e., dining, interventionists, electives). A human-centered research design using mixed-methods for this comparison study between an 'expanded push-in' and a 'traditional' model was used to understand the impact of this new architectural solution particularly focused on timing transitions between the classroom and activity program settings. Findings discovered a reduction in the length of transitions between accessing the programs by recaptured seven school days of learning time (approximately 45 hours), when compared to the traditional one, and more positive connections between students/students, teachers/teachers, and students/teachers to build community.

The Pueblo of Laguna Head Start program is on an American Indian reservation and housed portable classroom buildings. Recognizing the need for a more permanent environment and to offer extended family services, a planning grant was awarded to the Department of Early Childhood to develop a process to engage teachers, staff, parents, and community members in identifying the requirements for a new 320-child facility. Teachers and community members conducted an assessment of their present facilities, explored alternative playroom shapes, and proposed a facility layout using graphic symbols corresponding to all functions. The design of the Center represents the culmination of community workshops and interviews with teachers, staff, administrators and pueblo residents.

Ekya Early Years Kanakapura Road / CollectiveProject

- Architects: CollectiveProject

- Year Completion year of this architecture project Year: 2014

Text description provided by the architects. Ekya Early Years: Kanakapura Road reconceives an abandoned watch factory and overgrown two acre site into a lush, colorful and immersive environment for learning. Designed as an exclusive preschool for both Montessori and Kindergarten environments, the new design capitalizes on the beauty of an old industrial building, repurposing the existing shell as a framework for spacious, naturally ventilated and sunlight filled classrooms.
The primary goal of this project was to provide a constant interaction between students and nature; a design requirement of the Montessori brief and an ever rarer experience within the rapidly growing city. To achieve this, the boundaries are blurred between inside and outside with the 13 learning environments (classrooms) accessed from a covered walkway circumnavigating a densely planted central “Jungle” courtyard. Conceived in a “pinwheel” formation from the courtyard are four controlled access points to the exterior recreational and learning landscape. Features including an outdoor art room, amphitheater, playground, sandpit and individual classroom gardens radiate around the existing building footprint allowing for easy access, supervision and maintenance.
The strategic and consistent use of color establishes a stimulating and playful identity for the campus, acting as a visual connective tissue throughout the children’s daily experience. A soft gradient of coloured louvers highlight the covered office and student entrances. This gradient then changes frequency around the central courtyard walkway providing a single colour-code for each room. The same identifying colours continue inside each classroom to highlight special library reading niches and primary teaching surfaces.
Construction Notes:
This project is the first stand-alone Montessori school for the Ekya Early Years brand and the prototype for future locations. The program includes a full office/reception suite, 13 learning environments, art room, AV room, flexible common areas and outdoor recreation/learning spaces. One of the major challenges of this project was stabilizing the existing building, which was in major disrepair, so that it was suitable for a school. Due to cost and major structural constraints the existing building frame and shell were left intact though exceptions were made to create additional links between interior and exterior spaces and to highlight the main entrances. Within this predefined framework, playful architectural interventions occur at the children’s scale, creating reading nooks between classrooms, formal/impromptu seating areas and sculpted terrain.
