children can be emotional when they get dropped of at childcare as there enviroment has changed, they can laugh through blowing bubbles, looking at a mirror and seeing there reflections, finger painting outside, when a child is happy they feel more secure to explore the enviroment.

Hi H.T,

If you have a look at the Resources page under Childcare Professional, you will find a topic called "Interest Areas for Children - Kids Playing Areas". Each of the articles in here identify an interest area which is typically setup in the room environment. You will also find in each article that it lists how the particular area is beneficial for the children. Have a read through them and see if it helps you with your question.
