Case Studies of Child Play Areas and Child Support Facilities.

Abstract

This report describes and evaluates 50 facilities and settings for play, child care, and early childhood development. The evaluation is part of a long-range project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to specify new guidelines for the design of child care facilities and play areas at military establishments around the country. The objectives of the research were: (1) to sensitize the client organization to the role of the physical environment in child play, care, and early development, (2) to comparatively document and assess a sample of both military and civilian care facilities and play areas, and (3) to identify key design features and physical patterns which facilitate child development.
