Lighting for pre-schools
Light for playing, resting and learning
Lighting in pre-school facilities plays a pivotal role in supporting young children's development, well-being and learning. At this formative age, children are highly sensitive to their environment. Light – both natural and artificial – can significantly influence mood, behaviour, concentration and even health.
Moreover, pre-schools need flexibility. Rooms can switch between quiet reading, active play and rest periods – each with its own lighting requirements. Integrating adjustable white-light systems or layered lighting strategies can help rooms adapt to the activity, simultaneously promoting natural interaction with the environment.
PLAY AND RECREATION AREAS
Sensory play zones in and around the building
The design of recreational and play areas in all-day care facilities, preschools and nurseries has a lasting impact on social, cognitive and motor skills. The zone-dependent adjustment of light levels and colour temperatures creates a dynamic space that supports a variety of sensory play and learning experiences. Creating safety with the right light is a fundamental requirement – both outdoors and indoors.
