Research on the Application of Local Materials in the Environmental Design of Rural Kindergartens

As the development of rural kindergarten education continues, creating an appropriate kindergarten environment has become an important issue. This paper focuses on the application of local materials in the design of rural kindergarten environments. Through in-depth research, it was found that local materials not only offer the advantages of being easily accessible and cost-effective but also enable the creation of learning and growth spaces for young children that are rich in regional characteristics. From indoor space layout, activity area division, to outdoor landscape design, the paper explores how to skillfully integrate local materials into design to stimulate children’s curiosity and creativity, while enhancing their understanding and identification with local culture. This provides feasible strategies and methods for optimizing the environment of rural kindergartens, thereby contributing to the improvement of educational quality in rural kindergartens.
