Daycare Center
- Is an establishment/ facility that provides care for children or elder or mentally disabled
adults during the day, usually while their family members are at work.
- A day-care center provides child care in a nonresidential, drop-off facility. Some day-care
centers may allow for short, hour-by-hour care, but most provide either half- or full-day care
that includes activities, meals, naps, and possibly outings. "Centers can provide more
structured learning opportunities, and good opportunities for social development with other
children," Willer says. Day-care centers have monthly fees that vary greatly based on the
location and type of care provided.

Types of Daycare Facilities

- Group Daycare: These facilities are state-licensed and are usually run similarly to a school,
with kids of varying ages cared for in groups. Some of these are run by employers
themselves. If you choose this option, you're in good company: More than a quarter of
infants and toddlers are in center-based care.

- Home Daycare: This childcare is run out of the provider's home, often as she cares for her
own children at the same time. While some home daycare providers have received training
and are state-licensed, many are not.

Design Problem: Designing Daycare Center for rural area by means of Green Architecture.

Design Concept:

Approaching Sustainability through Vernacular Architecture

- For the past few years, the use of sustainable resources for building materials became a
must to protect our planet that’s been harmed by us. Other country approached these
problems by using sustainable designs by recycling, using new technology, and others use
nature as well.
- An example of using nature for sustainable design is the use of bamboo, in
Badung ,Mengwi ,Indonesia the Green School by IBUKU was entirely made of bamboo due to
the fact that bamboo can be as strong as steel if treated properly, and harvested within the
right age. The use of bamboo as a resource for building material actually helps to reduce the
demand of conventional materials, bamboos grow fully 3-6 years and after being treated
could be used right away. The fact that bamboo grows fast and being available to rural
areas, makes it a sustainable building material for both structural and aesthetic.
