Description

How preschool classrooms are arranged 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. There are fewer behavior problems. This course will review the basic learning centers that should be included in a developmentally appropriate preschool classroom and tips on room arrangement to support safety and behavior.

Not all courses are approved for early care and education in every state. Please check State and CEU Approvals page for details.
