In order for children aged 4-6 years to develop holistically, a preschool environment needs to be as rich and enabling as possible. This means having the right resources and areas, as well as school permissions and interactions for children to be able to explore, socialize, play and therefore, learn.
Here are two checklists of resources and areas that children should be able to access and play with in your preschool environment. All areas of development addressed by the Preschool Cycle Program can be covered through the suggested resources, catering to both free and adult-directed play.
