Space & Furnishings

When considering space and furnishings, there are a few things to remember:

  • Furniture needs to be in good repair, study and secure.
  • Furniture is best kept in natural wood or in natural tones
  • Furniture needs to allow the children to sit comfortably with their feet on the floor and adults need chairs that are adult sized.
  • Some furnishings should offer a place to relax and some spaces should be created for small groups of two as well as spaces for privacy.
  • Furniture should be placed in a manner to create different spaces within the room for different interest areas.
  • Remember to allow for space for large motor activities and its equipment.
