San-Diego French American School Pre-school
The design guidelines presented to the San Diego French-American School applied to the periphery of the existing preschool playground. The elements aim at improving the outdoor environment for children in PK0, PK1 and PK2 classes (2 to 5 year-olds), creating an outdoor classroom, bringing components of a working garden, nature, play, musical creativity, and fantasy to the brim of an existing playground with metal structures on a poured in place rubber surface.
