When children need a few moments to simply relax, the area should have several components: away from other centers and enough space for one or two children to 'escape' and regroup. These work well at home, and in early childhood educational setting.
The Happy Escape!
The language and literacy area of an early childhood education classroom is very important. It should be inviting and contain books that are age appropriate, easily cleanable or replaceable, and made of materials that are harmless. In fact, all areas should contain those basiccomponents. In order to completely satisfy the developmental needs of young children, it is vital that educators facilitate the environment, interacting regularly. At Bancroft Academy, our reading philosophy is: There is always time to read! Stop, drop, and read!! In the home environment, young children need the ability to 'escape' as well.
