De Colores Montessori Daycare

Overview

De Colores Montessori Daycare expanded its program to accommodate an additional 20 students. In 2023, the client requested an extension into the basement and modified egress stair enclosure to enhance the facility’s capacity and functionality.

AMAR Group designed an open-space floor plan with movable furniture to maximize comfort and flexibility. This allows children to experience and express their feelings, develop their personalities, and interact with others. The renovation incorporated wood, tile, quartz, and CMU, using simple and sustainable materials to create a holistic and friendly environment. The renovation emphasizes sustainability, with features designed to improve air quality, reduce fossil fuel usage, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Community & Social Impact

The project supports De Colores’ vision of fostering cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development during early childhood. The improvements contribute to the nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment De Colores aims to provide infants, toddlers, and pre-K students. The Parks Main Street sponsored a $50,000 business grant for facade upgrades and tenant fit-out, enhancing the facility’s attractiveness and functionality. Established in 2007, De Colores Learning Center continues to provide enriching, culturally diverse early education, prioritizing nurture, stimulation, and safety for young children.
