GAJ (Godwin Austen Johnson), one of the largest and oldest British architecture and design firms in the UAE, said it has completed work on a second project for the Ladybug Early Learning Centre in Dubai.
Following the successful launch of the Dubai Ladybird Early Learning Centre in 2016, GAJ handed over the new Ladybird Nursery Al Barsha campus.
The Al Barsha unit is a single-storey building with indoor and outdoor play areas, similar in theme to the original design, with each of the three age groups having their own unique area.
It marks the third Ladybug Early Learning Centre in the city, which includes the Dubai Ladybug Kindergarten JVC, and the second designed by GAJ.
The British architecture group said the size of the classrooms was determined by age groups, which in turn determined the size of the various elements in the teaching room.
The youngest children are placed closest to the reception for easy stroller access, while the one- to two-year-olds have their own wing with an internal garden and are connected to the outside, but away from the main event interior play space.
Older children have access to a variety of protected interior and exterior play areas, with both traditional and shared learning spaces.
“Role-playing skills are an important part of learning through a child’s environment, and this is reflected in our interior design,” said Jason Burnside, partner at Godwin Austin Johnson.
“We created a landscape in the main play area that incorporates symbols of familiar objects such as houses and fences, as well as modular cutouts for freestanding buildings, adding a tangible element to the landscape,” said Burnside.
He added: “Open classrooms and shared learning spaces throughout the nursery create a sense of freedom and boundaries, while ample natural light through skylights and large glass façades help to foster optimal learning for children and teachers surroundings.”
According to him, walls and adjoining facilities were kept to a minimum to encourage flow and avoid impeding barriers, and to create additional innovative learning and social spaces in the corners and corners of the building.
“Small house-shaped colourful pods have been added as storage space. From the entrance, fixtures and fittings are appropriately adjusted to the height and interest of children – a low counter in the reception area for children – — The size of the sinks and toilets as well as the low shelves in the classrooms are designed according to the children’s behaviour and user experience,” he added.arab trade news agency
