A 10,000 sqft holistic childcare center, located in St.Albert, Alberta. This is the second Center that I have designed for Bambini Learning Group out of their three locations. This Childcare center was designed solely by me (a new 27 year old interior designer) where I learned how to build a dream space for children to absolutely thrive in, a space that would be remembered well into their adulthood.

Pine Crest Elementary Media Center brings a 21st century learning environment to all of the students and educators.
The modernized Historic Randle Highlands Early Learning Center consists of 21,2000-SF spread over three floors. The modernization has brought a historic resource that had been shuttered for more than 20 years back into educational service accommodating more than 112 PK students in 11 new classrooms. The building also houses an infant and toddler childcare center that is operated by a community-based provider. Completed on behalf of the Department of General Services (DGS) and DCPS, the project is the result of an ambitious $11.5 million design-build effort. HCM worked closely with the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and the DC Historic Preservation office to obtain approvals to restore much of the exterior and to build a new modernist glass entrance vestibule.
Interest areas or learning centers are a few of the names used for Interest Learning Centers, but what are they?
The learning wall panel in natural colors will complement the eco-friendly style in interior design and help create a useful developmental area for children. Wooden and interactive Play Wall Panels are perfect for any classroom, therapy center or children's waiting area. The size of panel's set base is 25" x 69" x 1.5" (65cm x 175cm x 4cm) The entire set consists of 5 developing panels. All you need is to find a free space on the wall, drive a pair of sturdy screws for each panel and hang up the panels on the wall. As a result, you'll get a huge and interesting simulator for the development of your child. With its help your child will develop coordination of movements, hands motor skills, logic, will learn the colors and their mixing, learn the count and how to deal with clasps and how to manage with elementary locks. Playing tic-tac-toe will be interesting even for adults. These busy panels will be interesting to any age, especially children from 8 months to 4 years. You can write us your individual wishes, we will develop for you any other panel. You can also request a personalization of products and we will offer you all possible options. The average delivery time by common post for example: USA 3-5 weeks Europe 3-4 weeks Australia 3-6 weeks I want to pay your attention that there may be unforeseen delays in customs control or in transit. I can not guarantee accurate delivery time, therefore making an order in my store, make sure that you have the time to wait. We are always glad to see you in our store.

Our science center is stocked with lots of cool magnets and magnetic objects. We started with a basic magnetic/non magnetic sort, and have slowly added more interesting items for the students to explore. This is a pencil with round magnets on it, stacked so that they will repel each other. The preschoolers love to take them off, and put them back on again to see if they will attract or repel. On another day, I added a tub of paper clips and a magnet wand taped so that it would hang off the edge of the center. One of our

I created this maker space in my classroom almost two years ago. I am soooooo glad I did. We use it for really cool STEAM projects. It makes it so easy to do one anytime I want. It is always there, stocked and ready to go. I originally envisioned this as an independent activity in my classroom. But, the reality of the mess isn't always possible during a busy kindergarten day. So, I use it more often as an adult supported activity. The kids are still working independently, but an adult is there to remind kiddos to keep it tidy. That, and having a low heat hot glue gun makes creating so much easier. The adult uses the glue gun, but the students are the design directors. It works perfectly that way. So, yes, you will need an aide or parent volunteer to do this with kinder kids. In an older grade level, this would be easier to manage as an independent center or station. Here is how I set it up. Maker Spaces are as individual as the makers who make them. So, when you set yours up, get some inspiration and then do what works for YOU using your available resources. I have three big drawers for the kids to pull materials from... above is cardboard. Below is plastic and paper. It is actually easy to fill the space when you get in the habit of saving cool recyclables and scraps from other projects in your classroom. You can also ask families in your class to donate materials. I use a fourth drawer for storage. I change up the materials in the little bins, so it's nice to have a place to save things like corks hardware, twigs, etc. I like to provide special materials that will aide in making each project. Here are just a few of my bins up close... OK, let's move on to some great projects... Making bridges is usually one of my first projects of the year. We do it as a part of my Fairy tales/ Folk tales unit. I use a comprehension assessment for The Three Billy Goats Gruff , so we spend some time to go in depth with that story. Creating a bridge makes a great extension activity. Here are few more kindergarten kid designs. And of course we had to get out the plastic goats to test them. Don't you love the "No Crossing" sign? Written in Kinder writing of course! At the end of that unit, we also make boats for the gingerbread man to create a safe way for him to cross the river. Here are a couple of those... The tests on the boats are fun, but you have to prepare your kids for disappointment. I read Rosie Revere, Engineer to my class this year when we tested our boats. It was the perfect prime for accepting failure as part of the designing, learning, re-designing process. We use the little Pepperidge Farm gingerbread cookies in each boat for the test. So, of course I give a cookie to each of my little makers too! That book cover is an Amazon affiliate link for your convenience. You can grab it by clicking on the image. It's a must have if you are doing STEM projects in your classroom. For the boat tests, I use a large plastic storage container that I fill with water. We sit in a circle around it and each child gets to put a cookie in their boat and float it (or not) across the water. It's also a great idea to give your kids time to look at each design and talk to each other about how it was made. It's a little makers' convention. It only takes about 30 minutes. I think it is time well spent. Here is a precious video of one or our boat tests: Here are some adorable kid made leprechaun traps. This is the original STEM project. I have been doing leprechaun traps in my classroom for years. I like to have the kids make them in the classroom better than doing it as an at home project. The one year I had kids do them at home, I could tell that parents helped too much! You can tell these were made by little learners... It was great to hear my sweet students explain how each trap was going to work. We usually leave them out around the classroom on March 16th. I put some Rolo candies inside each one. (They are chocolate caramels wrapped in gold foil). I also sprinkle a little gold glitter around. It's lots of fun when students come into the classroom on the 17th and find the GOLD! Things can get pretty messy when the kids are working at the Maker Space. Here is the table during leprechaun trap production. There is a place for everything and we put everything in it's place when its time to clean up. The kids love using the space, so they are usually very willing to help clean up. We have little recycle and trash bins in the space so it is easy to put scraps where they belong. We also made bird feeders last year as a spring project. We had been learning about the season of spring and animals that lay eggs, It was a great extension for our unit. Plus, we have windows in our classroom where we can see so many birds outside. Those little tubs have bird seed and Cheerios cereal. You can also see the big jar of peanut butter. We spread the PB on to the cardboard pieces and then dipped them in the seed. I love this little engineer's design. Those are just a few ideas for your little makers. You don't have to have a Maker Space in your classroom to do these projects, it just makes it easier for me. If you haven't already, I hope you will try some STEAM projects with your kindergarten class. Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy teaching!
