Redwood Early Childhood Center

The Redwood Early Childhood Center is a unique project combining a Head Start site with early childhood teacher training and services for children with developmental disabilities. The program is located at Rogue Community College and is a resource for the campus and the community.

The building is designed with a secure and welcoming front to the campus and a sunlit courtyard to the rear. The rural location of Rogue Community College campus presented great opportunities to give children access to nature. The building courtyard abuts a pine, oak and madrone forest. This existing natural resource is a focus of the site design: All of the classrooms open onto a south side playscape that is integrated with the open forest floor.
