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

By providing many different activities, toys, books etc. that a child can easily access, show interest, and have the caregiver respond to their interests. Turning their attention to what a child is focused on, knowing when a child has switched interests to transition to the next thing, and engaging with the child by talking about what their interested in, explaining what it is, how it tastes, what it sounds like, engaging the senses and building curiosity.
