Creating Environments for Learning helps early childhood educators design play-based environments that ensure effective teaching and learning while meeting national and state standards. This easy-to-use resource helps you understand the outcomes you want to achieve, know how to design an environment to realize those outcomes, and understand your role as a facilitator. Emphasis is placed on considering the unique background of each child and being aware of possibilities to customize the design of your curriculum and environment to meet their full potential. Numerous examples and color photos demonstrate theory, research and possibilities in action.

The 4th Edition includes expanded information on diversity, learning theories, working in early childhood settings, and 21st century learning initiatives. The most current information on research, curriculum standards, and play-based learning make this resource practical for future and practicing teachers in family childcare homes, childcare centers, preschools and elementary schools.
