Badham Preschool or "ElmStreet" is one of 5 Maps in the Springwood Realm
. The map has 5 variations.

“The word ‘preschool’ should make you think of laughter and the sound of children’s feet. But this latest structure is the opposite. It represents something dark that ruptures my insides. I do not understand exactly what transpired here. But I get this feeling. A disturbing feeling that in many ways do explain what happened. I have no answers, but I wonder how something cheerful could turn this dark. Filled with catatonic children and crying parents – I can only assume. Benches, desks and chairs now resemble torture devices rather than tools for teaching, playing and learning. I saw a teddy bear when I explored the hallways, and I thought about what it might say if it were alive. Then I left the premises.” |

Lore
This is not the Badham Preschool where children laughed and learned, made lifelong friendships and had their paintings hung on the walls. This is a dark echo created from the nightmares of those who suffered there. The walls creak under the burden of history. Events that should be long forgotten are recorded forever in the plaster and stone, pervading the building with misery. Only one part of the building is accurately reflected in this darkness. The squalid room where Freddy Krueger lived and worked. The hidden basement area where he committed the heinous acts that appalled a town and condemned him to death. This is a place of the subconscious, of the nightmare brought into hideous reality.

Layout
The Badham Preschool building is a mid-sized two-story building, with a ground floor and a boiler room below.
In case it contains the Killer Basement, it becomes a three-story building, with two lower levels.
The ground floor has four entrances, one on each side of the building, each with a small hallway leading into the building, with the side entrances by default being closed off with Breakable Walls

Change Log
Patch 2.5.0
- Killer Quality of Life: the basement area of the Kindergarten is now guaranteed to spawn a Hook in the boiler room, if the Basement spawned in the Killer Shack.
Patch 3.1.0
- Additions: added 4 Map variants to the Map pool, indicated by roman numerals in their name, and renamed the original Map to Badham Preschool I.
- While they behave identically to them (aside from actually showing the roman numeral while loading into them), these iterations of Badham Preschool were not referred to as Map variants at the time, a concept the Developers did not "reintroduce" until four years later.
Patch 4.2.0
- Rework: updated the Map's visuals and assets as part of The Realm Beyond - Part One.
Patch 8.6.0
- Partial Retirement: removed Badham Preschool II, Badham Preschool III, Badham Preschool IV, and Badham Preschool V from the Map pool used in ranked Trials.
- They remain as playable Map variants in Custom Games for the time being.
Trivia
- Badham Preschool was the first map to receive a major Rework, as well as being split into multiple versions, which would not happen again until Patch 7.3.0, which split each of the five original The MacMillan Estate Maps into two variations.
Map
- There is a hidden room behind a wall in the Preschool's basement.
One can glimpse into it through a small, boarded up hole.
An shrine can be seen, surrounding a children's drawing of a child together with a crying adult. - If you enter the Boiler Room, which is featured in most films in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, your vision becomes reddish and the lighting changes.
- There used to be a Pallet in the hallway of the main entrance from the parking lot, it has since been removed due to balancing issues.
Variations
- Badham Preschool I was the original iteration of the Map.
- Badham Preschools I-III share the same size and shape.
- Badham Preschool IV is the smallest iteration.
- Badham Preschool V is the largest iteration.
