Learning environments must be safe engaging spaces for children to learn an interact with. Good learning environments are nurturing. This means that they have a variety of tools, and equipment that children can use to learn. These areas of the center or classroom should allow development and growth of the domains including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social. This could include having a soft cozy corner for children who want space, books, and spaces where children can interact with others. Also having developmentally appropriate set up allows children to be safe and encourages independence.
