The ABCs of Kindergarten Architecture & Design

Generally, kindergartens are the first few public spaces where children will get to explore the world and mingle with the larger society outside of their families on their own. Therefore it’s extremely crucial for this educational institution to be designed accordingly to facilitate their growth and development properly. In this episode,  we look at the types of kindergartens that are generally available in Malaysia and whether we’re doing enough to create a conducive learning and growing environment for our children.
