Interior Design of Daycare Center with Playful Concept in Salatiga

Along with the rise in career women, the community is seeing an increase in daycare centers to prevent child abuse and provide early childhood education. Language skills, character development, creativity, and motor skills are all part of this education. However, most daycares, particularly those for youngsters, place less emphasis on amenities and infrastructure. Many daycares have not followed the rules. As a result, a concept arose for a Daycare Center with a Playful Concept in the City of Salatiga, complete with an Infant Room, Playground, Classroom, Sleeping Room, Canteen, and Office.

Introduction
The development of technology and information makes the pattern of life in developed countries increasingly penetrated in eastern society. For example, at this time women have a double burden, not only as housewives but also as career women. The existence of economic demands makes the roles of women and men equal (Santoso, 2020).
Being a mother as well as a career woman admits that she doesn't have time to take care of their children. So that parents decide to leave their children in a daycare canter because it prevents violence and trafficking in children. Therefore, as career women increase, Daycare Center enthusiasts also increase among the community. The daycare center is not only for child care, but also provides education at an early age (Yüksel & Sazcı, 2015). This is one of the government's concerns regarding the importance of child education at an early age.
The Indonesian government is trying to improve children's morale through a Presidential Regulation that implements early childhood development with education for spiritual and physical needs (Nadia Rizka, 2017). This education is also found in daycare which provides great benefits including improving language skills, character building, developing creativity and motor skills, and helping to improve children's health (Suptandar, 1982).
Daycare must have appropriate, facilities, and infrastructure for children (de Souza Morais et al., 2021;Hwang et al., 2017). However, many daycares are less literate in this regard. One of them is a daycare in Salatiga. From research conducted by Ajeng Ayu in 2018, it shows that the existing daycare is not fully following the standards. For example, Bright Minds Salatiga Child Care Park (TPA), in this TPA the lack of attention to child safety in terms of layout and furniture, inappropriate interior design makes it difficult for adults to supervise children's activities, use of facilities is not following the age division of children and there is no concept which is evident in the interior of the landfill (Sugeng et al., 2020). Though the concept of the interior can be one of the supporters for the development of children's intelligence indirectly.
For this reason, based on the existing problems, Daycare Center facilities and infrastructure are needed as child care based on education and recreation with the Playful concept. (Ward Thompson, 2013)

Method
The design process for the Daycare Center interior design project in Salatiga is carried out by referring to scheme 1.

Project Definition
The interior design of the Daycare Center in Salatiga is a public building as education-based child care with a playful concept that is expected to increase children's creativity and innovation. Daycare or known as Child Care Park (TPA), as stated in the Technical Guidelines for the Implementation of Child Care Parks (Jakarta: 2010) is a form of PAUD on non-formal channels as a forum for welfare that aims to replace the role of parents in a certain period for children. whose parents work. Daycare provides educational programs as well as care and social welfare for children from the age of 0 to the age of 6 years (with priority ages 4 years and under) (Catalina,2016).
Ergonomics, according to the Ministry of Education and Culture (Melani & Sari, 2015), furniture is an important requirement for learning activities in kindergarten. The type and size of the furniture is adjusted to the implementation needs of kindergarten educators and students. Furniture (tables, chairs, storage shelves / lockers) should be painted in an attractive light color or with regular polish. The recommended furniture sizes are: Children's table size p = 120cm, l = 75cm, t = 47-50cm Children's chair size p = 32-35cm, l = 27-30cm, t = 30cm Storage rack / locker p = 30cm, l = 30cm, h = ±100cm.
Playful, according to Aji Wahyu (2017), the Playful concept tells something unique, creative, interesting, colorful, fun, and imaginative. The application of this design aims to encourage residents to think creatively and innovatively with the psychological influence of bright and colorful colors. Playful can also be implemented with varied forms in the formation of building interior elements. Because the majority of the residents are children, who have very high creativity, every room is strived to create a different space experience to avoid boredom.
Characteristics of the Playful concept: (a) Dare to combine several colors that are opposite or derivative in their application in the interior of the building; (b) Thematic designs on each area; (c) Usually, this concept is also applied to making simple signage to show the direction or function of a room. The design doesn't just play with color processing, but can also be projected into paintings or murals on walls, ceilings, and even floors.

Assumed location
Preferred Location: Zam-Zam Supermarket Salatiga. Jl. Patimura No.43, Salatiga, Kec. Sidorejo, Salatiga City, Central Java • Accessibility . Consideration of project site selection is because the project location is strategically located and easily accessible. the project location is near the Patimura highway, which is a city route that is often traversed by the community. The project location is not far from malls, shophouses, offices, and housing. The location is very suitable for daycare locations because it is in a work center area. So if parents want to work not far from their work location. • Surrounding.

Even though it is one of the city lanes that is often passed by the community when the vehicles that pass are classified as lower middle class. So that pollution and vehicle noise does not interfere with the education process.   Figure 4 shows the segmentation of an area or space into multiple zones based on their functions and characteristics.

Grouping
As indicated in Figure 5, the space grouping is divided into seven categories.

Ideas
The Daycare Center, which is located in Salatiga, has an interior planning plan that includes a lobby room, classrooms, bedrooms, playground, dining room, and teacher's room (Scharp et al., 2019). The interior design took the idea of Playful (Thoring et al., 2018). Playful itself tells something unique, creative, interesting, colorful, fun, and imaginative. For that, from some of the literature that has been described above, the Playful concept can be applied to children. Considering Playful is one of the children's characters. this concept can be applied by using cheerful and varied colors, it would be better if the application of these colors is following the age category of the child. The use of cheerful colors is expected that children will feel happy, and enthusiastic (Kuzinas, 2013;Plass et al., 2020). Then use dynamic, asymmetrical, and varied forms. In addition to symbolizing an active child, this design adds to the child's curiosity. Furthermore, the rooms are created thematically using each room having a different color dominance or character (Joh & Spivey, 2012) . This will also at the same time be a signate of a room. Not only color games, but murals and character images can also be applied for accents and one of the children's learning media.
To eliminate boredom in children and accommodate the nature of children who still love to play, added games or mini-games in the interior design, and there is also a main game vehicle or playground Pendhapa Vol. 12., No. 1, Juni 2021, pp. (Hammershøj, 2021). With that, it is hoped that it can stimulate children's motor skills. besides that, you can also add plant accents as a refresher to create a fresh and anti-stress atmosphere.
It is hoped that the application of the Playful idea above will make the child feel comfortable. So that children can learn to the maximum and can be a stimulus for children to be more cheerful, active, imaginative, and creative.

Theme
The theme chosen in the interior design of this Daycare Center is modern. With this theme, it is hoped that it will create a modern atmosphere that is following the behavior and characteristics of children. According to Lamudi (2013), in general, the characteristics of modern architecture can be seen from its asymmetrical shape, flat roof, box shape, curved and smooth corners. Modern interiors also often appear efficient, a little ornate. In addition, the rooms in modern homes are found to be connected without a barrier.

Ambiance
Aspects of the atmosphere to be realized and achieved from the kindergarten school is an atmosphere that is cheerful, happy, and excited, not only requires beauty but also requires a creative environment. They are more interested in what they see and this is a very important learning process, closely related to the developmental stages of children who are still more interested in something visual in a way that is fun for children. The child's need for space is based on the need for psychological and physical development.
Thus, it takes the quality of the interior space that is adequate and under the needs for the development of the child's creativity. Children's needs in physical space must be able to accommodate or accommodate all activities that drive their creative process, starting from the initial stage, preparation, exploration to the final stage of verification or evaluation. Space must be able to accommodate all the activities mentioned above and not stop at the stage of the idea generation process along with the psychological processes that initiate and follow the emergence of new inspiration or ideas, but space must also be able to accommodate activities to turn ideas into real creative products.

Interior System
Lighting, lighting has a very important role in the interior design of a space. There are 2 types of lighting in the playing area, namely natural lighting and artificial lighting (Vásquez et al., 2019). Natural lighting is obtained from sunlight that penetrates the glass/tempered glass walls and several windows. Then for natural lighting use spotlights because the ceiling is far from the floor as general lighting and some additional lights such as downlights, pendant lights, and TL lights.
Ventilation, the ventilation system in this Daycare Center has two systems, namely natural and artificial ventilation. Natural ventilation is obtained from the openings of both doors, windows, and ventilation. Natural ventilation is needed to allow for the entry of fresh air. For artificial ventilation using AC and exhaust (Harbizadeh et al., 2019).
Acoustic, serves to be able to reduce noise generated with a noise level requirement of 60 dB. Acoustic control can be done in addition to using materials that can muffle sound also through the use of plants. Such as planting hedges or vertical gardens on the side adjacent to the center of the noise (Givoni, 1991), you can also take advantage of the use of wood and carpet materials, as well as textured floors, walls, and ceilings.
Security, security systems are important for the safety and comfort of visitors. At this Basketball Center, there are several security tools such as CCTV, fire detectors, fire extinguishers, and sprinklers at several points.
