1)What should be included in an infant classroom environment? Why?
What I think should be included in an infant classroom would be furniture, toys, lines (Books, Blankets, Walkers, Bouncing swing and etc) that the child most likely has at home, so the infant will feel like she/he is at home giving them comfort and relaxation.
What should be included in an infant classroom is furniture like chairs and tables and have things like toys, drawing materials. There should be an outside area where kids are able to go outside so that the babies are not always in the classroom, they can go out and get some fresh air. It should feel like the children are at home so they can be more comfortable and more willing to learn and play.
What should be included in an infant classroom environment? Why?
-In an infant classroom environment should be included toys, drawing materials, dramatic area, books, tables and chairs for kids, because all of these promote their learning, healthy development and make them feel comfortable.
These are some important ideas that should be included in an infant classroom environment:
-Plenty of space to crawl and creep because toddlers need an environment that encourages movement.
-Homelike environment, so infants and toddlers can feel welcome and comfortable; for instance, families pictures display on the classroom walls, representative objects from their home countries (instruments, artwork),
-Safe and comfortable provide furniture typically from home in child size, so they can independently move and play.
-Adequate space so children can actively move and play.
-Adult size comfortable sitting, so parents can socialize with other parents.
-Toys, and baskets with materials with different textures so children can learn through their senses to explore the world around them.
1) An infant classroom should include everything and infant has in there home. There should be furniture small enough for the child to use on their own such as chairs and tables the tables and chairs should sturdy enough for the children who are not yet walking to pull themselves up on . There should be some open space for the children to move around and explore. Different toys and activity centers that will stimulate the children’s cognitive,gross motor, fine motor, social, and emotional skills. Somewhere for the children to nap and eat. There should be a diverse selection of books and pictures hanging on the walls.
