| Abstract: |
For the average working class family in Lesotho, the children spend eight to ten hours per day in day care centres for the first five years of their lives. With the rise in problems linked to the environment, health and development in children, creating a conducive, nurturing and healthy living space in day care centres is paramount. In the construction of day care centres, care should be exercised to avoid exposing children to substances like chemicals, toxins in building materials and interior finishes. These pose danger to children’s neurological (nervous) system’s development. This study therefore explores the green design alternative since it is an approach to building that minimizes negative impacts on human health and the natural environment by choosing eco-friendly building materials and building practices. The study was a case study of Lesotho Daycare Community Preschool (LDCP) as well as document analysis of day care center development in Lesotho. This included descriptions and explanations from studies related to the subject. Observations, interviews with day care centre owners, interviews with ministry of education and training officials and study of visual documents of community preschool general designs also helped gather information. Findings suggested that the use of non toxic building materials and good designs for ventilation systems enhance children’s physical and mental development. |
