OUR ENVIRONMENT

AKELC occupies a unique architectural space which reflects the culture of the region. Custom designed spacious classrooms, hallways, gym, and library are filled with purposeful materials and equipment – all arranged to engage children’s interest. Large windows create unity between the inside area and outside gardens and provide an abundance of natural light.

The Outdoor area is designed to allow children to explore the environment in a safe place. A garden, sand play area, bicycle trail, and climbing unit encourages the development of children’s creativity, imagination, and small and large motor skills. Regardless of weather conditions, the children have the opportunity to participate in physical activities in a large indoor gym specially designed for young children.
