Abstract | Discussed are issues in the development of a physical setting for child care facilities to encourage the physical and psychological growth of preschool children. Questions to be considered in selecting a location are given to include available space and nearness to the neighborhood being served. Encouraged is consideration of mental stimulation, curriculum, and behavior management in planning the learning environment. Planning the indoor space is said to require evaluation of the amount of space, shape of space (whether one large or several small rooms), arrangement of space (children need private places), movement of traffic, the housekeeping corner, the block building area, the reading nook, the painting section, the water play area, the kitchen, and storage. Aspects of the outdoor area discussed include need for a space to run, ways to efficiently use whatever space is available, ways to provide play space when no outdoor space is available, safety, and storage. Child care institutions are encouraged to be creative in the development of inexpensive or free materials such as old tires. Also noted is the need to consider the climate when planning a year round facility and program. (DB) |
