2. Classroom Enviorement
• Toddler rooms must have room
for the kids to play, eat, nap, and
learn
• There must be a lot of open space
for them to get around safetly, as
they might not be great walkers
yet
• Everything must be appropriate
height for them to reach
• The room should be colorful, but
not over stimulating
• Their art should be displayed all
around

4. Block Area
A large open space is needed to
give them room to play and
build with blocks.
I would include a large mirror
for them to be able to look at
themselves and what they are
building.
5. Kitchen Play
My toddler room would
include a kitchen area
with real kitchen things
like pots and pans,
brooms, etc. for them to
be able to explore, and
play.
6. Play Structures in the classroom
for Social skills, & motor skills development
7. Sensory Area
Toddler room would have at
least 1 or 2 sensory tables for
the children to explore, and
work work on fine motor skills
like scooping, grabbing etc.
The materials in the table
would be changed on a weekly
basis if not more often.
8. Dining Area/ Tables
Table for meal times, art lessons.
Should be at a height appropriate
for their age,
I like this one, because the chairs
scoot into the table, and the
chairs have a belt to secure them
without having it be a bucket seat
or high chair.
9. Changing Table
Toddler room should include an
area for diaper changes as not all
toddlers will be potty trained.
Steps like this are helpful in
getting the kids up to the
appropriate height.
Table should be positioned so as
to allow the teacher to still keep
an eye on the other students.
11. Outdoor Environments
• Outdoor environments should be
safe and secure. Children should be
observable at all times, in all areas
• Large open spaces are good to
allow them to run, and play
• Equipment should be appropriate
to their size, such as tricycles,
slides, swings
• Variety of areas like gardens, sand,
grass, play structures ensure that
the children can always find
something interesting to do and
offer many opportunities for
learning individually and as a class.
12. Play Structures
Should be plastic to keep
from getting to hot
Size appropriate for toddlers
to ensure safety
Colorful and inviting
Over a soft surface
13. Sand box/ Area
Sand is a great sensory
material
Kids can dig, build, add
water and much more
14. Garden area/ Natural
Area
Gardens are useful for teaching kids
about living things, and how to care for
them, they also give them a chance to
do things like water plants, and search
for bugs
15. These have been a few examples of
what I think are important in a toddler
environment and what I would like in
my classroom
