| Research Abstract |
As a night nursery school is equal to their own house for the children, the personal spaces such as sanitary room & closet, the public spaces for eat & sleep and also playing spaces should be enriched. The present spaces in the night nursery school for bath & toilet are too tight & no privacy and are unsuitable for the personal spaces. In the public space, the class-room were in space confusion, overlapping actions for eat & sleep caused the poor sanitary condition, nurses' overloading by frequent resetting of furniture & bedding (futon) and then hurrying up children by the time. The essential theme toward the future is to establish meal room. And active playing requires better facilities and nursing. We found several environmental conditions to support indoor and outdoor playing. Setting the corner with playthings, indoor spaces connecting with outdoor spaces, broad space where children can run in, and space planning children to be able to choose playing area by their own will, those were most important. Next we extend our research abroad to get additional view in Denmark, Italy, Korea and America. There are few night nursery schools in Europe and America, where traditionally home nursing has been done. In Denmark there were five 24-hours nursery schools well equipped of unique management as moving school improved the convenience of parents and nursing environment. In Italy there were facilities for developing creativity of children as light and dark atelier. In Korea there were many night nursery schools, some of them insufficiently equipped. In America we made survey on a non-profit organization near San Francisco and an in-plant nursery school in Georgetown Kentucky, both of them well equipped of unique management for their own. Those are very significant in planning Japanese nursing school.
