I think its important for the child to feel welcome and secure in the environment, the environment being safe, organized and clean, the kids should be able to feel like they can be themselves, being able to have fun while also learning and furthering their development.

[Priya Anand]

Well organized play center with ample opportunities to learn and grow. It should be warm and friendly, so the children are comfortable.

Yes, there are several components of a good early learning environment that I think are especially important. Things like safe and healthy physical environment, developmentally appropriate materials and activities, positive relationships and interactions with adults and peers, opportunities for exploration and discovery, and supportive and responsive caregiving. It should promote social-emotional development, communication and language skills, and cognitive and physical development.

I think having a safe and welcoming/comforting environment is important because it helps the children look forward to coming to school/program. The outside play area is an important component of the children’s physical health.

• Un ambiente donde los niños se sientan bienvenidos e invitados, la gente sea amable y los maestros sean útiles. Hay actividades para todo tipo de intereses diferentes que también les ayudan a usar todos los sentidos. Las actividades son fácilmente accesibles y pueden pasar de una a la siguiente tomando decisiones en las que confían.Un ambiente donde los niños se sientan bienvenidos e invitados, la gente sea amable y los maestros sean útiles.

A well-planned environment encourages children to play and grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.

[Tyler Becker]

I think having a range of available activities is especially important. Some children will want to play more actively while others prefer a quiet activity. Having multiple options for both, and everything in between makes sure that their growing minds and bodies alway have more to explore and learn from. Switching some things out periodically can help with this too, like a sensory bin or the costumes available in a dramatic play area.

Overall, it needs to be a safe and nurturing space. It should have a range of developmentally appropriate materials that encourage play and exploration. The educators should also be qualified and responsive. The children should have opportunities for social interaction and working/playing with other children.

I think any form of art is a very important thing to have during free choice time so kids can explore and show off their artistic talent. I also think outside time is very important to children so they can stay active and explore!
