Early Learning Village

Early Learning Village, a collaboration between two international schools in Singapore, stretches over 30 square miles, has 100 classrooms, and the capacity for 2,100 children. The ambitious schools strive to have the best possible environment for experimental play and active learning. The nature-inspired design was an important factor in choosing Organic Robinia. Blue skies, sand, greenery and wood invites nature into the big city and provide a contrast to Singapore’s gray concrete and steel. The six playgrounds are built on split levels, where the children can play at any time of day shielded from the sun.

The playgrounds use a combination of art and music and sand and water to encourage self-directed exploration and sensory inspiration. The combos create a safe and playful environment for learning and fun for children up to the age of six. In different “zones” the children can play with natural elements. The sand and water playground equipment delight the senses and encourage contemplation, whilst active play unfolds on the obstacle course playground equipment. It all comes together in the main play structures, The Wizard’s Tower and the Explorer Ship. Through play, children develop social and cognitive skills and gain the self-confidence to explore the world around them. The elements in the KOMPAN Robinia playgrounds challenge and provide endless hours of fun for all its young village visitors.
