Book title:
Designs for Living and Learning: Transforming Early Childhood Environments
Author: Deb Curtis, and Margie Carter
Publication Date: 2003
Publisher: Readleaf Press, MN United States
So recently in the last few months, I've been working with a new childcare employer, I shall call Employer O., or EO for short. They aren't an recruitment agency, and shall be deemed as such.
After having been to a number of their campuses, I've had a feel of how their different schools prepare their environment.
I found this book a couple of months back, in March, and only remembered now that I had wrote a short post on it.

When I saw this book, Designs for Living and Learning, at the TAFE library, I thought it was an apt moment to borrow it.
Notes taken from this text:
Elements to consider when planning EC spaces:
- Connections and a sense of belonging
- Flexible space and open ended materials
- Wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement
- Symbolic representations, literacy, and the visual arts.
Pg21: The lives of today's children are filled with plastic, concrete, metal, electronic media, and other materials

QUEDREX is the one platform that school, university and childcare centre staff and management can find thousands of resources, ideas and seminars in one location over one weekend.
We would be very grateful if you could pass on the information below to your colleagues and wider network who work in the education industry.
