Encouraging Learning in Children | Kid-Centric Homes

Kid Centric Homes are slowly and steadily climbing up on the popularity ladder among parents. In today’s world when in most cases both parents are working, it does get tough to take proper care of children. At the end of the day, we all have to rely on gadgets and activities that can often be harmful to children like movie nights, video games, etc. All of these are okay once in a while but screens affect our children more than we might realize. We should prioritize books over games, which not only develop a reading habit in the children but also lets them explore their creativity and imaginative thinking. Similarly, there are other alternative activities that can be done with/for children in order for their better overall development.

However, along with work and busy lives, all of this is not as simple as it sounds in theory. Hence, the popularity of Kid Centric Homes. KCHs are just like usual housing projects but with added facilities that focus on the growth and development of children. KCHs come with multiple sports facilities, activity areas, events, hobby classes, etc. where children can play, learn, enjoy, and make friends all along the process.

Some of the key aspects that Kid Centric Homes focus on are –

Designing for Play:

KCHs prioritize play as an essential aspect of children’s development. Design elements such as open floor plans, soft flooring, and plenty of natural light create an inviting space for children to play, explore, and learn. Play areas can be designed to stimulate the senses, such as a sensory wall with different textures or a mini rock-climbing wall.

Child-Friendly Furniture:

Most kid-centric projects have furniture that is both safe and functional for children. Furniture that is appropriately sized for children and made from safe, non-toxic materials not only keeps children safe but also encourages independent play and learning. Child-sized tables and chairs, bookshelves, and storage units help children learn how to take care of their things and stay organized.

Learning Through Art:

The teams at kid-centric homes encourage creativity and self-expression through art. Art spaces can be incorporated into the design of the home, such as a dedicated art room or a chalkboard wall in a playroom. Art supplies, such as paint, markers, and clay, can be readily available for children to use when inspiration strikes. Children can learn important skills through art, such as fine motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving.

Space for Physical Activity:

An ideal kid-centric home provides space for children to engage in physical activity. This can be a designated playroom or an outdoor play area. Physical activity helps children develop gross motor skills, strength, and coordination. Indoor spaces can be designed with climbing walls, obstacle courses, and other equipment that encourage physical activity.

Learning Through Books:

KCHs encourage reading and literacy by creating spaces for books. Reading nooks or libraries can be created in common areas of the home or in children’s bedrooms. The design of the reading space can be made inviting with comfortable seating and soft lighting. Reading not only helps children develop literacy skills but also expands their imagination and creativity.

Hands-On Learning:

With proper research into the development of kids, KCHs prioritize things that are most beneficial, like hands-on learning opportunities. Sensory activities, such as sand or water tables, help children learn through exploration and experimentation. Cooking and baking activities help children learn math skills and develop an understanding of nutrition. Science experiments and building projects encourage problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Nature-Inspired Design:

Most good Kid Centric Home projects are designed with inspiration from nature. Natural materials such as wood, stone, and plants can be incorporated into the design of the home. Natural light and views of the outdoors can create a calming and inspiring environment for children. A connection to nature can help children develop a love and appreciation for the environment.
