Understanding early years environments and children’s spaces
Introduction
How do environments influence children’s experiences and opportunities for learning and development?
Why are children’s environments important and how do they contribute to children’s experiences?
This free course challenges you to think about how you might organise an early years setting – how resources can influence children’s interactions and how space is used. You will consider how indoor and outdoor spaces are used by children and why it is important to develop spaces where children can be creative, explore, take risks and follow their own interests.
