Environment
-Classrooms should contain a sleeping area, eating area, play area, and diapering area, as well as bathroom
-Play area should be divided into a quiet area with books, areas for dramatic play, manipulatives (blocks, puzzles), large motor area for active play, and art/music. Toys and play equipment should be accessible to teach children to make choices
-Outdoor area should include shady and sunny areas, with resilient ground cover. Infant/toddler swings; climbing structures and areas for sand play should be available
-Individual attention, close supervision, and responsive caregiving are critical to future development. Caregivers should wash hands often. Always wash hands before meals and snacks and after each diaper change
