Children in full-day child care need privacy at times; thus, places where children can be alone should be provided in the environment. Soft areas such as beanbag chairs, pillows, or rugs allow children to snuggle and find comfort. Small, enclosed areas promote quiet activities as well as interaction among small groups of children. Physical boundaries around areas can reduce distraction, which, in turn, increases attention on activities. Large spaces allow for active, large-group activities that are more boisterous and noisy. Clearly organized play space and clear paths can result in fewer disruptions and more goal-directed behavior.
