Dear Sevastiani,
I find your research very interesting because it gives children the possibility to express themselves and tell us how they prefer their school. I am curious to tell me how the most of them drew the school that would prefer to have…Once that I have asked this question to children of preschool age, they had told me that they wanted a big, colorful school with many trees and toys outside!…

Dear Chrysoula
Thank you for your comments
It is true that when children drew their ideal schoolyard they put a lot of trees and playground equipment with lots of colors!! Unfortunately up til now their schoolyard is not appropriate for preschool children and that is why all children who participated in the project were very excited to the option of having a new playground!!
