Guidelines for arranging environments appropriate for preschool-age children are provided in this staff development module, one of a series for child caregivers working in military day care centers. The document is divided into two parts. In part 1, discussion focuses on how environments affect children's feelings and behavior and on ways to organize indoor and outdoor play areas to offer children a variety of experiences. Checklists for rating center environments are provided. A variety of topics are discussed in part 2, including managing the preschool environment, supporting children's personal growth, and encouraging development through play. In addition, materials selection and activities planning for preschool children are described. Checklists also follow these discussions.
