Amazing play space organization: a unique kindergarten by Lev-Gargir Architects. Group design in kindergarten (36 photos) - how to create a project Design ideas for kindergarten

It is not at all surprising that in families where children are born, parents immediately begin to think about which kindergarten they will send their baby to when the time comes.

Of course, they would very much like to see bright spacious rooms, many beautiful play structures, various toys and balls. However, often the reality is far from our fantasies.

Today at the Design Museum we want to show you one modern kindergarten located in Israel. I would like to hope that such an idea will someday become a reality in our country.

Recently, more and more attention has been paid to design projects for children, in which advanced and innovative solutions are used. Tel Aviv-based Lev-Gargir Architects designed this fabulous place for kids.

During the design of this garden, considerable attention was paid not only to the correct layout, safety, good lighting of rooms for children, but also to aesthetics, creativity and beauty.

Thus, an amazing room was created - a private kindergarten, in which children will spend the whole day with great pleasure.

During this project, the architects partnered with local furniture, interior and toy designer Sarita Shani Hei, whose unusual decor, colors, materials and accessories reflect the understanding of the needs of the child and imbued with great respect for children.

Its main principle is the understanding that there should be nothing pretentious and flashy in the interior for children - children, while fantasizing, must come up with a new reality themselves. In the interior of such a kindergarten there is nothing aggressive and unpleasant for children.

The philosophy of designing the space of this institution of the 21st century lies in the following principle - the development and formation of their feelings in childhood will depend on the environment in which children grow up.

Therefore, the garden spaces have been designed in such a way as to encourage children to be creative, sensitive and independent. The starting point for the original interior design was a 1950s style building.

The one-story structure has been divided into several public spaces: a lobby/entrance area, a creative area, a sports area, and a library, and it also has four classrooms, each designed with its own characteristics with different themes: ocean, nature, transportation, and majestic realms.

Each room has its own exit to the courtyard. The total property of the preschool institution consists of 1,000 sq. m. (0.25 hectares), and the garden building itself covers an area of ​​​​about 400 sq.m.

The main factors influencing the design of the kindergarten were the appearance of the open space, the interior layout, convenience, sustainability, practicality, and budget.

The interiors of the rooms feature bespoke cabinets, bookshelves and large wooden interactive toys that are very aesthetically pleasing and functional to meet the needs of children to play.

The furniture is made of plywood and solid wood. The color scheme consists of three primary colors: blue, white and red, with natural wood tones.

Such a palette evokes energy and a sense of joy, while the surrounding space is dominated by a calm, minimalist style, free from overloaded design in the interior to maintain a constant joyful play.

Admiring the marvelous photographs and architectural delights of this private kindergarten, it is worth noting that, of course, our preschool institutions are far from such a level, but, nevertheless, beautiful architecture and interior design cannot be a guarantee of a good upbringing of children.

Children are the flowers of our life, we have no one dearer than them, we are so happy when we have them. And since then we begin to give them all the best, surround them with warmth, care and love. That is why it is difficult for parents to choose the kindergarten that would suit them completely. Such an institution, where preschool children go and spend a lot of time there, must comply with certain existing standards, which say that the child should feel comfortable, cozy, convenient here, so that it would be pleasant and interesting to spend time here, and most importantly, it should be safe for the kids. In addition to all this, every parent would like to see good, educated, sweet educators, to whom they could entrust their baby with a calm soul.

The interior of the kindergarten, its design should be taken responsibly, everything should be carefully thought out. Since each room, which is intended for the general time spent by children, should be decorated in a special way. By its appearance, the interior should influence, contribute to the artistic, aesthetic and cognitive development of preschool children. Now you understand how much the interior means, what functions are assigned to it, and why it is necessary to think through and implement it competently, carefully, correctly, so that everyone, both adults and small ones, feels comfortable, cozy, convenient in this room. To do this, you will need to use seasoned modern interior design styles or neoclassical ones, otherwise use simple forms. And no matter what style of interior design you choose for decorating the premises, use a large number of indoor plants. They will contribute to the production of fresh air in the room, in addition - it is very beautiful, gives the interior liveliness, lightness, beauty. And in order for the effect to be really like this, do not forget to organically combine the interior of the kindergarten with plants.

The interior of the kindergarten, and the basics of designing rooms for children

The task is to make some microcosm that will arouse interest in all children. To achieve this result, to cope with the task perfectly, you will need to divide the room into several functional zones. It should be a working area, a sleeping area, a bedroom, as well as a play area.

The interior design of a kindergarten should by no means remind you of a hotel lobby or an office. It should be the opposite of these rooms. In order to make the premises of the kindergarten look beautiful, comfortable and cozy, use light curtains made of translucent material, small sofa cushions, and many, many soft toys to decorate windows.

All these items will help your little child to quickly adapt to kindergarten, and will also help relieve the child's stress.

Now let's talk about those moments that can be considered the main ones in the development of interior design. And so, when developing, it is important to take into account, determine the dimensions, height of the objects that will be present. This is very important, as it affects, affects the well-being of the child. For example, if you need to determine the optimal height of a table for a child, you need to seat him behind him. After that, the child who is sitting at the table should bend his arms so that his elbows are at a right angle. If the tabletop is at the level of the child's bent arms, this is the correct table height.

As for the arrangement of furniture. Place the furniture in the room so that there is as much free space as possible, so that there is a place where children can play outdoor games, do exercises, and so on.

The interior of the kindergarten must be equipped with play islands that will contain a large number of completely different toys, craft materials, movable furniture, soft floors, sketchbooks, paints, pencils, plasticine and steel things that preschool children like so much .

Kindergarten preschool furniture is different from ordinary furniture. And this is undeniable. Firstly, there are differences in design and appearance, secondly, in quality, and, thirdly, in functionality. These are the main factors that you need to pay attention to when choosing children's furniture.

The discreet and laconic interior of the kindergarten, public spaces largely determines the appearance and design of children's furniture. The bases for it are wooden or metal frames. Furniture should be durable and environmentally friendly. Therefore, for example, when buying children's tables, what you need to pay special attention to is the quality and composition of the chipboard used in the manufacture of countertops and other furniture parts. Ideally, if the furniture is completely wooden. This is a guarantee of environmental friendliness and durability of furniture. For example, let's take laminated board, which is still used in building furniture. So, it often breaks down without serving two or three years. But that's not the most important thing either. The main thing is that this material contains resins that evaporate, reacting with the external environment L. Accordingly, children breathe in the emitted vapors, which are very harmful. And take, for example, seats that are made of plywood, although this is prohibited. Children's lockers should also be durable and environmentally friendly. Without special knowledge in the furniture business, the quality of children's furniture can be judged by the guarantee given by the manufacturer. It should be at least two or three years old. If the fittings used are not of high quality, then the furniture will loosen within one year.

For you can use bright, saturated colors. The main thing is that each color harmonizes, combines, complements each other. The colors that you will use in the interior should not create contrast, they should flow smoothly into each other. In general, colors are very important, they play an important role in the interiors of premises, regardless of their functional purposes. They can not only decorate your surfaces, but if used correctly, you can visually increase the space in the room. If you do something wrong, then the space in the room visually, on the contrary, may become smaller. And colors and their shades have a direct impact on a person. That is why each of them has its own characteristics, which are created by professional psychologists. Therefore, you should not rush with the choice of color for decorating a kindergarten. Therefore, we emphasize once again that you do not play on contrasts, do not make sharp transitions in color, as this will distract the child's attention.

The interior of the kindergarten may at first glance seem not luxurious, not rich, but this is not important, not the main thing. It is important for parents that an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and love for children reign here.

Each interior, no matter what the room, must somehow be decorated, it is necessary that there be present here, decorative objects, elements, and so on. The walls in the kindergarten, they, like no one else, need decoration. If they stand empty, then the interior will look unfinished, unfinished. But when you hang various pictures on them, draw images of characters from cartoons beloved by all children, decorate with shelves on which crafts of kindergarten students will be located, the room will look completely different, it will acquire liveliness, brightness, good, positive mood , fun, smiles.

As you know, kindergartens usually have several groups. So, at the entrance to the groups, I would like to see exhibition corners where they could show off, stand crafts, drawings of your children. If you have been allocated a little space for such a corner, then you can make it visually more spacious due to mirrors. When you hang a mirror here, the room will immediately sparkle with new colors. Place the exhibition corner at a height that is accessible to children so that they can easily take their crafts from there and put them in their places. In addition to convenience, it will also teach little children to be neat and careful.

If the building of your kindergarten has more than one floor, but for example two, then it definitely has a staircase. So, in order to properly arrange the stairs, you need to pay enough attention to it. In order for children to walk up the stairs calmly, they need to be interested. How exactly to do it? For example, you can hang photo frames along the stairs that will tell children about the history of their kindergarten. You can be smart and come up with something else, more interesting, exciting.

In terms of its significance, the most important room in a children's preschool educational and educational institution is a group room. It is in it that the children spend most of their time in kindergarten.

In the group, children play, get the necessary knowledge, eat food and even sleep. This happens when the design features of the room do not provide for a separate room for sleeping and resting children.

As a rule, in groups of middle and senior preschool age, a group room combines several functions at once, among which the following can be distinguished:

• playroom;
• a place for developing and training classes;
• canteen;
• bedroom.

Therefore, a group room must be carefully thought out and designed taking into account the delimitation of these important functional areas. By the way, the sanitary standards for the activities of a preschool educational institution also imply the presence of clearly demarcated and separated zones, and such requirements are fully justified.

Group furniture.

First of all, you need to pay special attention to the placement of furniture in the group room. In the standard version, the following pieces of furniture should be available in each group of the kindergarten:

• Tables and chairs for children- tailored to the height of each child. In this regard, there are well-defined sanitary standards, which indicate how high the table and high chair should be for a child of a certain height.

There is a certain color marking of the height of tables and chairs. In addition, each chair should have a picture by which the child can remember his chair and distinguish it from others. Ideally, the marking picture should be the same: on the chair, on the clothes locker in the reception area, on the towel rack and on the headboard. So the child will be easier to navigate, and he will be able to quickly find the items he needs.

• Toy cabinets- should also be of a certain height for preschoolers of each age group. In this case, the cabinets must necessarily have additional fastening on the walls. This is done for safety reasons so that the locker does not tip over if the child inadvertently leans or climbs on it.

It is also necessary to choose cabinets for storing toys, taking into account that the material from which they are made can be easily treated with detergents and cleaned of dirt. In kindergarten, sanitary and hygienic treatment of furniture items is carried out regularly, so cabinets must be made of moisture-resistant materials or covered with a protective layer of paint.

• Benefit cabinets- designed to store educational and developmental aids, as well as special pedagogical literature. They can be of any height, because only the teacher has access to them.

But according to sanitary standards, a prerequisite is the additional fastening of the cabinet to the wall surface. It is also desirable that the cabinets in their color match the overall color scheme of the group room in the kindergarten.

• Table and chair for the teacher- also very necessary pieces of furniture in a group room. Ideally, the design should match the overall style of the group.

Sometimes, to save space in a group room, a desk and a teacher's chair are placed in the reception room, which is at the same time. This is also very convenient, because the teacher has the opportunity to mark the admission of children in the attendance sheet, and at the same time talk with parents on many organizational issues.

• Beds for children- placed in a group room only if there is no separate room for the bedroom. Beds in kindergarten can be ordinary and bunk, which are also often used to save space.

It must be remembered that only single-tier low beds are suitable for toddlers and the second younger group, but for children of middle and older preschool age, bunk beds can be used, which, if necessary, can be closed on the sides with a protective net to prevent the child from falling in a dream .

Beds in kindergarten can be made of base materials, as well as metal. But this is, rather, a trend of the past, because metal beds in kindergarten have remained since Soviet times.

• Carpet on the floor a group room is also a necessary attribute so that children do not sit on a cold, uncovered floor surface. However, the need to use a carpet is eliminated if the technology is used in the finishing of the flooring. " ".

Instead of carpets, you can use bright and colorful mats of modern design. They have a lot of advantages - the surface of the mats is easier to handle in case of contamination. In addition, the mat is much softer than, and this will help prevent injuries and bruises during a child's fall.

Group art.

For the decoration of the walls of a group room in a kindergarten, various types of materials at hand are often used - these are colored cardboard, ORACAL self-adhesive film, as well as many types of finishing materials that can be used in a completely unusual and unusual way.

For example, as a starting material for the manufacture of figurines of fairy-tale animals or cartoon characters, you can use ordinary polystyrene foam ceiling tiles, which are sold in every hardware store. Ceiling slabs are inexpensive, and it is easy to cut figures of any shape from them using ordinary scissors or a sharp knife. In addition, the image turns out to be a little voluminous, which makes it more attractive in a decorative sense.

Also, to create various compositions, ceiling plinths are used, also made of expanded polystyrene or polystyrene. They are inexpensive, light and very convenient for making various decorative details.

Making corners in a group.

In kindergarten groups for preschoolers of different ages, it is necessary to organize the design of many thematic corners.

• "Our Mood"
• "Corner of Solitude"
• "Information for Parents"
• "Patriotic education"
• "Corner of independent creativity"
• "Music Corner"
• "Traffic Laws"
• "Nature and the environment"

• "Corner of physical culture and sports"
• "Touch Corner"
• "Book Corner"
• "Local history corner"
• "Health Corner"
• "Protection of Life Safety"
• "Fine Arts Corner"
• "Duty Corner"

The design of thematic corners in the group room of the kindergarten is handled by the educator, as well as the most active representatives of the parent committee. At the same time, it is important to show imagination and creativity in order to use the corners to make the interior of the group unusual, but at the same time interesting and attractive for children.

Plot - role-playing games.

The most important role in the upbringing of children is played by role-playing games. With their help, the child learns the world and acquires elementary knowledge about the everyday and professional activities of people. For preschoolers of different age groups, there are the following types of role-playing games:

• " Salon"
• "Builders" ("Building a house")
• "Family" ("Daughters - mothers")
• » Drivers»
• "Birthday" ("We meet guests")
• " Dr. Aibolit"
• "Dining room" ("In the cafe")
• » Zoo»
• " Kindergarten"
• » Astronauts»
• " In library"
• " Travel"
• » Rules of the road»
• " School"

Props for most role-playing games can be bought at the toy store, but for some games they simply do not exist, and therefore many teachers prefer to make it on their own, using a variety of materials and techniques at hand. One can only envy the imaginations of educators who are able to create the most incredible things from such simple and most ordinary elements! What are colorful cakes made of sponge for washing dishes, candies made of foam plastic in colorful wrappers or a loaf of sausage made of foam rubber!

Thus, props for role-playing games in some way can also become part of the interior design of a group room, because some games contain too many elements and require a separate corner in the room.
