How do you think early learning providers can create a “serve and return” environment in their classrooms?

* Early learning providers can create a “serve and return” environment in their classrooms by planning activities that allow not only the children but the provider to engage with the children. One example could be “baking ” cookies out of playdough and explain the steps of cooking and baking and engaging by asking them questions like ” what color is the dough” , “I see that, what shape is that” , and ” what flavor are you making ?” They can also provide a serve and return environment is by supporting and encouraging the children and then giving praise when the task reaches its desired result.
