In September 2011, The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) unveiled a newly expanded and renovated Heimbold Family Children’s Playing and Learning Center. Working with Koko Architecture + Design, the ASF incorporated inspirations from early childhood education centers in Scandinavia. This premier indoor learning and play space for children integrates the best of Scandinavian design while emphasizing early childhood sensory perception.
