LocationSprouts Child Care and Community Center will be located in Boulder, Colorado at the current Mountain View United Methodist Church. In the heart of Boulder, this church is currently surrounded by a senior living facility, an elementary school, a park, and a middle class, residential community.
Boulder has and always will be an up and coming community. This popular city is full of the love of the environment with many outdoor activities year round. Going with the feel of the city and its friendly people, Sprouts will focus on child and community growth through the health and wellness of its surrounding environment.
355 Ponca Place, Boulder, CO, 80303
Mountain View United Methodist Church first became a church in the fall of 1957. Throughout these past fifty-five years, the church has expanded square feet, renovated the interior, and added Mountain View Preschool. Mountain View Preschool was founded seperatly from the church in 1964 and has thrived ever since by seeing thousands of children learn and grow in these past fifty-eight years.
History

InspirationMy inspiration for this project was based on a preschool I saw in Kolding, Denmark called Bornekulturehuset or “Preschool House”. The interior was unexpected and whimsical with every room entered. This abstract nature feeling intrigued me and made me more curious about designing a space like this. It seemed as if the children were so happy to be there. I wanted to create that. A place of purpose for out future generations and their surrounding community. A space for growing mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Sprouts Child Care and Community Center teaches the ages from 12 months through kindergarten. These young years of life are considered the most valuable for learning and mentally, emotionally, and physically growing. Each age group has a different intellectual learning level and respond to their environments differently. Each space in the newly designed preschool will be custom to fit each type of need for every age group within Sprouts.

The ClientBoulder County Family Child Care Association (BCFCCA) proposed the need for a new child care center within Boulder County that was focused around sustainability, safety, and education through design and the childrens’ learning environment. Between intensive research, site visits, interviews, and strategic planning, Sprouts Child Care and Community Center will meet and exceed BCFCCA’s expectations and will well serve the community and environment in the Boulder County area.

“Sprouting Senses”
Kids at these ages are in their most vital learning stages. Physicall, emotionally, and mentally, they are growing rapidly. The most basic skill they are learning to master are their senses. The environment that surrounds them needs to adhere to their specific needs and ways of learning. Therefore, Sprouts will encourage healthy interaction, exploration, and overall learning through a sustainable foundation that will both aid the children and the community as they grow.

What is key to a positive and healthy children’s environment?
Process
Research
To prepare for this project, a semester was dedicated to purely research. This research included interviews, site visits, surveys, and case studies. This accumulated information only brought me closer to my project because I knew the elements and principles of child care design that I needed to implement.
From visiting different child care centers and preschools within the area, I began to see the difference in the diverse types of philosphies taught at each school. Sprouts Child Care and Community Center will be practicing a mix of learning philosphies such as the Waldrof and Monessori.
Waldrof preschools are typically geared toward the child’s imagination and exploration of their environment. Things like natural play, gardening, and teamwork are all highly emphasized within this philosophy. A Montessori based program consists of understanding the child as an individual with individual needs. Ideas of independence, self esteem, and self discipline.

Hallett Cover PreschoolProject: Hallett Cove Preschool in AustraliaEstablished: 1989Main Site: AuSSI-SA – Australian Sustainable Schools Initiate South AustraliaURL:http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/efs/files/pages/HallettCovePreschoolCaseSt.pdf• Attendance:4sessionsperweekfor4terms• Establishedin1989• Nativeplantsmakethegardensfunctionalaswellaswater-wise• Implemmented rainwater tank, solar pump, plumbin, photovoltaic panels,
solar powered hot water system, recycling, worm farm, composting, chicken farm for eggs, fruuit trees, gardens with different animals and native plants
•These implementations not only helped the surrounding environment, but also educated the children to think sustainably as if it were second nature and to educate others by their natural reaction to sustainable prctices
•The children learn a better curriculum with a sustaianable environment by improving their knowledge of vocabulary, sizing, life cycles, animal care, growing their own produce, and of how the community and the environment can properly coincide together.
