Its functions of this areas

Classrooms must have a variety of spaces to support the childrens care and
developmentally appropriate activities. Architecturally defined area that contains each group
of children and their teacher(s) within classrooms include the entrance, cubby storage,
classroom, and teacher storae, diapering station, and storage, toilet and handwashing,
sleeping, nursing, and food preparation.
Design Consideration

Classrooms may be separated by full partitions or partial barriers that allow

controlled visual or acoustical connections to other groups. The classrooms themselves
should be as open as possible, allowing supervision and the penetration of natural light. The
classroom contains the required spaces for all recommended activities, as well as spaces for
personal care. Adequate space is also necessary for storing childrens and teachers personal

items, curriculum materials, supplies, and equipment. Space should conform to accreditation
and local licensing requirements.

Common area in local provided pre-school children with ages ranging from 0-6 years
are the most vulnerable to the ill-effects of malnutrition and lack of social and
mental stimulation.

Classrooms/playrooms for infants and toddlers

have toys and materials within childrens reach.

are open and without barriers so that children can see play opportunities.
provide opportunities to interact with other children.
have a quiet, soft place for resting.

have appropriate places for longer sleep periods.

have developmentally appropriate places for climbing and using all gross

motor skills.

have comfortable places for adults to interact with children (i.e., adult-sized

chairs for sitting and holding children).

A classroom/playroom setting in a child care program is more than just a collection of

activity areas. Since a child may spend as much as ten hours a day in a child care
classroom or family day care setting, there must be times and places for resting or
sleeping, eating, personal grooming and toileting, moving, reflection, socializing, and doing
activities. Although school-aged children spend only two to three hours a day in child care,
these settings must also provide for individual and group activity as well as quiet and
restoration.

Filipino children up to six (6) years of age deserve the best care and attention at the
family and community levels

Spaces shared by more than one group are included in this spaces. The designer
needs to be cognizant that the child may spend very few hours of the day in his or
her home. The center becomes the home away from home for the child . The
design should convey this impression. A common area that feels like the core of
the center is an excellent organizing concept and one which will dispel an
institutional feeling, especially if it is treated in a home-like way. This may be
simply an area of the circulation that provides a stopping place that allows social
interaction. However, it should not be the multi-purpose room. Circulation through
the multi-purpose room has proved to be an undesirable design feature.

Other common areas may consist of one or more of the following: multiplepurpose
area, large motor activity area, meeting/gathering area, and a separate sick bay (if
the latter is required to meet local licensing requirements).

The spaces used by teachers and directors are the staff resource room, the
classroom and play yard areas, the entry and reception areas, offices, conference
and lounge, resource storage, and adult toilets.

The spaces allocated for service and support to the center include the kitchen and
food storage, laundry, janitors closet, as well as the electrical/ mechanical and
telephone service equipment room
