Interplan completed the design of Sugar Plums Daycare, a 5,800 SF childcare center located on the first floor of an office building in Rockville, MD. Designed for children from infancy through kindergarten, the space includes eight classrooms that support a range of ages, routines, and developmental needs. A brand-inspired palette is carried throughout the daycare, adding color and personality while keeping the environment bright, balanced, and welcoming.
The design also focused on creating a space that feels easy to navigate for children, families, and staff. One of the key challenges was an existing column in the middle of the reception area, which was transformed into a playful focal point that helps define the entry experience. Shared children’s restrooms, lockers, carrier cubbies, storage closets, supply storage, and buggy storage were incorporated throughout the space to keep daily operations organized and accessible. The result is a functional and inviting childcare environment that supports learning, movement, and care at every stage.
