<![CDATA[Procedural memory fundamentally supports the acquisition of essential daily routines and complex motor skills in early childhood. The formation of this cognitive system heavily depends on continuous environmental exploration and repetitive physical engagement. Although modern daycare facilities possess substantial potential to actively support this mechanism, the majority of these institutions still operate as conventional childcare settings. They frequently lack the intentional incorporation of specific spatial cues that systematically strengthen habit formation and foster children’s motor and behavioural skill development. Consequently, this study proposes innovative spatial strategies for daycare design that deliberately support the development of procedural memory. The research method was conducted qualitatively through direct empirical observations of children’s daily exploration patterns, combined with in-depth interviews involving caregivers and parents. Using a multidisciplinary neuroarchitecture lens, the study thoroughly explores children’s cognitive and physical responses to various visual and tactile stimuli. Its core theoretical contribution is the framing of architecture not merely as a passive space, but as an active medium of continuous rehearsal and spatial experimentation. The resulting spatial design strategies include the integration of sensory transition spaces, reconfigurable physical elements, continuous circulation paths, interconnected areas, and clear zonal differentiation, which collectively guide independent exploration and robustly support procedural memory development.]]>
