Rainbow Riders Childcare Center, Blacksburg

Rainbow Riders CRC site was also designed with inspirations from Reggio Emilia, Italy and with the experience of “living” in the Knollwood site for ten years. This 20,000 square feet facility can accommodate up to 240 children ages 6 weeks to 12 years in 15 class groups. Centrally located beside the large lobby area, the studio and library provide additional spaces for small groups of children to convene. The lower level of the building is for part and full time preschool classrooms as well as the school-age program. The small indoor gym, also on the lower level, provides an area for gross motor activities throughout the year and is used for large family meetings and activities.
