"In this book, noted designer and psychologist Anita Rui Olds - drawing on her 30 years of experience - helps architects design spaces that meet the varied needs of a day care center's special clients. Here, you'll find step-by step explanations of interior and exterior layout and design principles taken from real-world case studies. Olds begins with an explanation of the important facets of a child environment and builds on this foundation with fully worked-out ideas and solutions for: effective design processes; intelligent overall center design; and efficient layout of dedicated functional spaces." "Chock full of over 550 floor plans, drawings, photographs, charts, and illustrations, Child Care Design Guide will become a first-choice resource as this new industry continues to grow."--BOOK JACKET.
