# Creating Inspirational Early Learning Environments

[Childcare](https://info.scholarschoice.ca/blog/tag/childcare), [Classroom](https://info.scholarschoice.ca/blog/tag/classroom)

## Creating environments for learning is more than simple room arrangement.

Well-designed environments that are stimulating and dynamic have these key attributes:

### 1. They include free space that is open for movement and socializing.

Let the children move and explore based on their own interests and desires within the structure of the space. 

### 2. They have private quiet spaces. 

Children need space to focus, reflect, or participate in self-directed play on their own.

### 3. They offer clear, defined areas.

Each area should encourage children to be active participants in their own learning.

### 4. They are flexible.

Each day is new and different, and the space needs to adapt to the ever changing needs of children.
