In pursuit of designing a concept that improves ergonomics, I started visiting and studying different kinds of kindergartens leading development of the youngest. Preschool programs divide kids into two groups. Groups depend to an age as they are reaching various “milestones”, to which surrounding area is adapted to. Early intense development makes a great impact on a persons adulthood. Early child development is supported in an institution Montessori which carries such practice in its private preschools. They differ from public institutions, among other things the way they equip their playrooms. I visited and studied the equipment of various public and private schools, and interviewed employers to better understand their needs, experiences and challenges. Changing still is a long existing problem because of the number of kids in a group. This is why I analyzed the workplace of an educator as well. I found out that a certain piece of furniture only manages one position setting. This assignment was searching for a solution, so I designed a concept of an adaptable work table.
