Dalton
Zeven Zeeën Children’s centre is a Dalton education school. Students in Dalton education typically show a greater degree of independence. The building accommodates this through a variety of workspaces, wide corridors, and large classrooms. The central playroom can be connected both to the corridor and to an inner courtyard, creating a large space that is partially indoors and partially outdoors. The inner courtyard is used exclusively by the daycare centre. In the centre of this space lies a multifunctional staircase - a kind of “monkey rock” - serving as a staircase, library, and tiered seating. The lower and upper grades each have their own entrance. The entrance of the lower grades is on the ground floor, while that of the upper grades can be reached through a large outdoor staircase, which can also serve as a seating area for the large playground. Beneath the staircase are secondary facilities, such as the bicycle storage and the container area. The large schoolyard can be used by neighbourhood children after school hours.
