Abstract

Back in the day, kindergarten was linked with colourful paints, clay, building blocks, musical instruments, booming enthusiasm, and in-depth study. Today, kindergarteners are expected to study content that was previously reserved for first grade. For this research, Jamshoro is selected which is commonly known as ‘Education City’. The results showed that there is high importance of proper physical activity area to be planned for kids in school. The results also revealed that poor outdoor spaces can lead to stress and anxiety. The implication of this study could be used by architects and designers for revising their plans of kindergarten schools.
