Looking closer at inside spaces

Look at the maps of your inside space in the ECE program and think about what message they give children.

  • Does the space reflect the local community and different cultures of your families?
  • Do you see a diversity of children and families?
  • Are barriers for movement or sensing removed?
  • Are there runways where children can run from one area of the room to the next?
  • Do you have your space organized to support a child who might have mobility issues, difficulty with sight, or an intolerance for loud, overwhelming environments?
Reflect on spaces that are troublesome or might need more thought.
