Indoor Environment Design Rationale

Post by Unicorn1120 » Sat Oct 07, 2017 4:19 pm

Your task is to design an indoor play environment for a group of TWENTY 3-4 year old children in a long day care service.

Questions:

a) List the quiet and active experiences you have provided for children in your design- So far I have 'I have included a cozy quiet area where children can read books, do puzzles and drawing/colouring. I have also designed a dramatic play area on the other side of the room with different props and costumes.'

b) How have you designed the environment to enable children to engage comfortably in active and quiet experiences- the active areas such as dramatic play, block play, etc. are located at one end of the room while the quiet areas are in the other. The areas that are more popular are bigger and vice versa.

c) How does your design ensure supervision and safe access through the room- The space is open and all areas all visible to the educators. I need more info on this one...

Please help me!!!
