The scope of this project involves creating a fun and well-integrated plan to enhance the learning and play experience for each and every child at Caroline Elementary. The result allows for a unified space where teachers, staff, students, parents and the general public can come and feel comfortable and confident that their children will grow up with the maximum potential to succeed. This design is a response to a workshop with 5th grade students from Caroline Elementary and research that speaks to the ways in which children develop and how school grounds have a large effect on how children behave, strengthen motor skills, think, feel and make independent decisions.
The goal is to create zones that provide opportunities for the children to make the decision of how they want play in each space. The main idea is the opposite of a traditional school ground. Instead of providing set activities with set boundaries, this design provides general areas with elements that provide some mystery and flexibility for play and development.
