1.Idea.
The designed kindergarten in Kroscienko Wyżne is a building that is part of the existing landscape and gives priority to flora and fauna, where children can safely discover the world in close contact with nature. Each space has been tailored to the needs of different age groups, supporting their development at every stage. Diverse zones allow for both physical activity and creative play or tranquility, making the preschool a space conducive to learning, playing and building relationships with peers and the environment.

2.Form.
The project began with a rectangular form, which over time was broken into two triangles that work in symbiosis with each other. One triangle is the designed building, and the other is a spacious green area intended for a playground.

3.Function.
The space of the kindergarten was designed with multifunctionality in mind, putting the all-round development of the child first. The layout of the interior and exterior has been carefully considered to support both educational, emotional and physical aspects. Through numerous trials and analyses, it has been possible to create interiors that respond to the needs of the youngest children, as well as foster their natural curiosity to explore the world. Inside the building, sensory and experience zones have been planned to stimulate children's senses, supporting their cognitive development. Classrooms have been tailored to the needs of each age group, providing optimal conditions for learning, play and social integration. A spacious and attractive playground has been created outside the kindergarten, built into the landscaping. Children can enjoy slides, houses built into the hills, a vegetable garden, a sandbox, trampolines, tunnels, swings and climbing elements. The playground not only encourages movement and the development of physical fitness, but also inspires discovery and group cooperation. The whole area has been planned in such a way that children can fully develop their abilities and passions in an environment conducive to their natural rhythm and needs. In this way, the preschool has become a unique and welcoming place for each child.

4.Ecology.
It is also an environmentally friendly building. Thanks to numerous glazings and skylights, the interiors are maximally illuminated by natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Where it is necessary, energy-efficient LED solutions have been used. On the roof of the building there is provision for the installation of photovoltaic panels, which will provide an ecological source of energy. It is also possible to collect water in a rainwater tank and reuse it - for example, to water the greenery around the building or in nature-related educational areas, such as the vegetable garden. These solutions not only make the kindergarten more environmentally friendly, but also educate children and the community about caring for the environment. Through daily contact with such solutions, children learn respect for nature and the conscious use of its resources, which shapes pro-environmental attitudes for the future.
