Child Development Center
Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma
NURSERY RHYME INTERIOR DESIGN ELEMENTS
BWA Architects provided full architectural services for the Chickasaw Nation Child Development Center in Ardmore. The project included the design and construction of a 26,728 square foot early childhood facility organized around age-appropriate learning, care, and play spaces.
The scope included neonatal care rooms, classrooms with in-suite restrooms, a gymnasium with equipment storage, a multipurpose room, and a cafeteria. Additional program elements included an administration suite, secure entry vestibule, aerobic room, safe rooms, and both indoor and fenced outdoor play areas. Site work included parking, drives, site lighting, irrigation, and landscaping.
The building was designed with a cohesive nursery rhyme theme carried through both interior finishes and exterior veneer selections, resulting in a visually engaging and functional environment. Despite the program complexity and variety of spaces, the project was delivered within budget and provides a safe, well-organized facility supporting early childhood education and care.
