Ep 11 How to Create an Inspiring Indoor Learning Environment

Episode Description

Getting Started series: Explore the art of creating an inspiring indoor learning environment that fosters curiosity and nurtures holistic development in early childhood students.

In this episode we explore how we as both classroom and home educators go about preparing our indoor space for deep child centred learning.
We explore the benefits of a neutral colour pallet, organisation, setting up different learning zones, how to foster executive function skills in children, the best materials and provocations for sparking curiosity and wonder and how to include children’s agency in our learning spaces.
