Designing an Early Childhood Environment | Classroom

What messages does your environment send to children? This video explains your options for designing learning environments. Clear Boundaries: Use shelves, furniture, or other barriers to help children focus and understand the intended use of a space. Large, open areas encourage running and roughhousing. Arrange your furniture and interest areas to break up large, open spaces. Clear Ways to Enter and Exit: Help children know how and where to come into an interest area. If you use a center management system—a system of tags, pictures, or symbols to limit the number of children who play in an interest area—make sure children know how to use it and are able to meet their needs and interests throughout the day. Sufficient Materials: Have duplicates of favorite toys. Also, make sure there are enough materials so that several children can play in social areas, like dramatic play and blocks. Children are more likely to have meaningful play interactions if there are enough materials to use together. Engaging Materials that Spark Children’s Interests: Consider what children in your class enjoy. Add materials or rotate materials regularly so children have new experiences. Think about the pictures, displays, print, or writing materials that support children’s learning and engagement in each area. Separate Loud/Active and Quiet/Calm Spaces: Examples of quiet interest areas are the library, listening center, and writing center. Loud, active centers might include the block area, dramatic play area, and the sand or water (sensory) area. Access to Needed Materials: Sand and water, discovery, and art spaces should have easy access to sinks. Music and movement, technology, and cooking areas might need access to electrical outlets. Soft carpeting in the library and block area can make it easier for children to sit and comfortably interact with materials on the floor. Learning Objectives: Align materials and interest areas to learning objectives. Keep Safety in Mind: Make sure you can always see and supervise all children. #learning #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhoodenvironment #learningenvironment #professionalteachers #earlychildhoodmajor #beced #bse #education #classroom #classroomsetup #edutok #preschool #preschoollearning #educationalvideo #professionaleducation #designingpreschoolclassroom #preschoolclassroom #playschool #playschooleducation
