As an early childhood educator, what are the aspects that you would keep in mind while planning play activities for the preschool children in your centre?
Learning centers can be a great way for early childhood educators to help organize their child care space and help expose children to different educational experiences. Learning centers can help ease transitions between activities for children and can allow children to decide which activities they would like to participate in, giving them more control over their environment and the learning process. Below are some tips to consider if you would like to set up learning centers in your child care setting.
Keep it simple. Start by choosing a location for each center. Look at all of the space used by children. Note the overall size, locations of doors and windows, sinks or water sources, electric outlets, necessary traffic patterns, and any permanent fixtures or equipment. Note all considerations that need to be included for planning, such as shared spaces (as in family child care homes), ages and number of children, and any requirements for children with special needs.
Choose which learning centers will be included. Consider starting with areas that are most familiar to children such as:
- Creative art
- Dramatic play/housekeeping
- Constructive play/blocks
- Science
- Language arts
- Sand/water
- Manipulative
- Writing
- Reading
- Math
