According to Chen Zhilan, head of the kindergarten, its design is based on the theme of "nature". Elements like flowers, trees and animals can be seen everywhere, so children can feel the harmony between people and nature all around them.

The kindergarten has set up a variety of indoor and outdoor functional places, including a music room, reading room, art room, sand pit and paddling pool.
