Room Layout

  Through the centuries, those who care for children have understood the significance of a child’s surroundings. Already in the 1800’s, the childcare expert Froebel stressed the importance of environmental design in the sense of a garden, natural, organic, ever-changing. He maintained that when care is applied to children’s surroundings, behaviour can be guided and inspired. The simplest of locations can become a haven of play and learning.
