Project Overview: Medical Center to Childcare Centre Renovation
​
We are undertaking a comprehensive renovation of an existing medical center to convert it into a fully compliant and welcoming childcare centre.
The existing building offers a solid foundation for this transformation, with structural features that lend themselves well to the needs of early childhood education, while requiring strategic updates to meet current childcare regulations, safety standards, and the developmental needs of children.
Scope of works ​
​
-
​
-
Combining or enlarging some smaller consultation rooms to create open-plan learning areas.
-
Establishing designated zones for play, sleep, meals, and quiet time.
-
Creating staff facilities such as an office, staff room, and meeting space.
-
​
​
-
Compliance and Safety Upgrades
-
Installing child-safe flooring, corner guards, and soft furnishings.
-
Upgrading all bathroom fixtures to child-appropriate heights and features (e.g., low basins, toddler toilets).
-
Implementing clear sightlines for supervision and secure fencing for all outdoor areas.
-
​
​​​​​
-
Interior Design and Child-Centric Aesthetic
-
Designing the interior with calming, natural tones and child-friendly artwork.
-
Adding cabinetry and open shelving for toy and learning material storage.
-
Enhancing lighting to ensure natural and warm artificial light throughout.
-
​
​
-
Licensing and Regulation Readiness
-
Ensuring all renovations meet the standards of local childcare regulations, including:
-
Room sizes per child ratio
-
Indoor and outdoor space requirements
-
Emergency evacuation planning
-
Food preparation and storage standards
-
-
Outcome
​
Once completed, the former medical center will be transformed into a vibrant, nurturing, and safe environment for children, families, and staff. The facility will support the developmental needs of children through thoughtfully designed learning environments, stimulating play areas, and a community-focused atmosphere.
The renovation combines the practical strengths of the existing building with purpose-built upgrades to create a modern, high-quality childcare centre.
