[Customer issues and themes] Based on Kids Corporation's motto, "Kids First," which says, "We want you to grow up without forgetting your child's heart," we expressed the world view of the fairy tale Peter Pan and the southern island of Okinawa. We aimed to create a fun space that stimulates the imagination of children with the image of children playing freely. [Solution] This project started with the slogan of wanting to see the smiles of children. The height of the ceiling and windows is 3m80cm. The children's room was laid out with the image of children playing freely in a room with a high ceiling and large windows. We used graphics on the walls and windows to create a fun space that stimulates children's imagination. In addition, we tried to arrange safe and efficient rooms so that the work flow line of the staff can concentrate on childcare.
