Document Summary
Hang beads to keep 2 smaller areas separate. Eliminate clutter and distractions to create calmer feeling by removing most of the plastic. Add more open ended and natural materials and real items to expand the possibilities for play, learning, and collaboration among the children of all ages in the program. Big part of transforming your environment is figuring out the resources you have and will need. Featured inventors mostly scour thrift stores, garage sales and garden shops and ask for help from local business and community members to gather what they need. If children haven"t been involved in the process, begin to orient them to the new environment that is being planned: show them the floor plan, vision board or photo folder of the changes they can anticipate. Invite other people to come in to help get the work done. When you take time to consider the changes from the children"s perspective, you prepare yourself for support they might need.
