The Center was founded in 1969 and is Newark’s first community-based, accredited child care and early education program, helping neighbor- hood children develop vocabu- lary and social skills. “Reflecting the importance of mastering day-to-day spa- tial transitions to a child’s development, we were de- liberate in creating a built environment that gives form to particular places where important transitions occur, including drop-off and pick- up points,” said Dogan W. Arthur , principal of D.W. Ar- thur Associates Architecture. “In designing this facility, we strove to give these children a refuge from the city and a connection to nature, through the introduction of a central “oasis” play space and the use of daylighting and other design elements.” The center is located within Newark’s Ironbound section and incorporates children’s facilities, including class- rooms and play areas, with those that can be used by the broader community, includ- ing a multi-purpose room for communal gatherings. The structure includes a two- story courtyard that is visible and accessible from all new classroom spaces. The build- ing’s upper level incorporates administrative rooms, a mul- tipurpose room and a roof garden playscape. The building design was carefully developed so that each classroom is provid- ed with natural light and views, as a result of their ar- rangement around a central courtyard. From the spacious multi-purpose area to the naturalized outdoor spaces, the children’s center has a continuity of environments for a child to experience. n
