Summerfield kindergarten school/community center

The thesis will examine the design of a kindergarten for the Summerfield area in Lubbock, Texas. Through knowledge gained from a literature review of Montessori and Piaget, this kindergarten is to be an environment that stimulates learning in children. Through the investigation of factors identified in the literature search and in case study evaluations, such as the use of appropriate scale and detail, an environment can be developed to excite spatial perception. Through an analysis of case studies, the author will identify issues and elements that could be incorporated into the design of the kindergarten.
