Description
How you arrange your preschool classroom can have a big impact on the children's learning, safety, and behavior. When it is done well, the overall atmosphere in the classroom is calmer and more focused. The children are more actively focused on learning, it is easier to supervise the children properly, and there are fewer behavior problems. In this course, we will look at the basics of creating developmentally appropriate learning environments.
