Montessori propose that the mode of education is the main factor affecting the intellectual development of children, and put "environment" in the first place of the elements of the mode of education.At present, fixed spatial patterns are difficult to meet the needs of contemporary people. Although many preschools attach great importance to environmental design, they only pursue aesthetics and ignore the essence of the spatial environment.In terms of design concepts, preschools should pay more attention to the interaction between children and the environment, and focus on the cultivation of children's imagination.In the case of the Four-Leaf Clover Preschool Houses in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, large floor-to-ceiling windows connect the interior with the exterior, creating a direct dialogue between the building and nature, integrating the indoor room spaces into the surrounding environment while maximizing natural light.Furthermore, the interior decoration is relatively simple, although the color of the furniture is not abundant, the design details are full of children's interest, the activity area is flexible and diverse, and the children's freedom of action is greater.
Three Factors About Preschool Indoor Room Design
Feature One: Meeting the Emotional Needs of Toddlers
Only by satisfying the toddlers’ emotional needs can their personalities get a healthy development. As the activity venue for children, preschool indoor room design not only requires large and varied space but also requires enough private space, so that it can meet the children’s psychological needs. Children of different ages have obvious psychological differences and different emotional needs. Therefore, we should create a good humanistic psychological space and a comfortable leisure space environment for children.
Feature Two: Meeting the Functional Needs of Young Children
If the designer wants to design a preschool indoor space that combines the functional needs of children, the design must comply with ergonomic features and select furniture and items of reasonable sizes. In addition, in preschool interior design, soft lines such as flowers can be used to weaken the stiffness of the space and reduce the sense of alienation.
Feature Three:Meeting the Aesthetic Requirements for Toddler
In the background of the new era, the preschool indoor space design put forward new demands for children’s psychology and spirit, so the preschooler needs to provide greater possibilities and varied experiences for indoor room space. In addition, we must make up for our shortcomings and focus on the interior design of preschools to provide children with a more comfortable space environment and make preschools warm and meaningful.
