Imagine that you find yourself here in this picturesque place, out in the middle of nowhere. It is a beautiful place and the weather is amazing. Nothing could ruin this perfect day, right? You drive along for awhile and suddenly you realize your GPS has lost signal. You start looking around and notice that there are no signs to let you know what the speed limit is, where the nearest gas station is, or how many miles until the next town. The peaceful drive would be a lot more stressful until you were able to find a sign or your GPS signal returned.
Even as adults, our environment cues us in on what we can and cannot do. The lines on the road tell us where to drive, the signs tell us what direction and speed to drive, and posted rules tell us what areas are off limits. Our environments impact our behavior. When we look at preschools, environments are important. The layout of the classroom, the organization of the toys, and the way rules are presented all have an impact on a child's behavior.
This blog will explore ways to set up preschool environments to minimize behavioral challenges and strategies for setting up inclusive preschool environments
