Do you want to design an optimal early learning environment for your students? Have you tried and it just doesn’t seem to flow? Or maybe you’re not sure what materials should be included or how they should be presented? And how does the environment work with the daily schedule? 

Have you ever considered any of these questions? And…

Did you know that a well-designed classroom environment can reduce the number of behavioral incidents by 85%? Did you know that there are general guidelines for designing an environment that also supports children’s social and emotional development? 

In this 5 SESSION VIRTUAL SERIES, we will break down each area of an optimal early childhood classroom and will discuss the parameters for each area, how to display materials, and the materials suggested for each area. This will be as interactive as I can make it. We will also spend time virtually rearranging classroom layouts!
