Learning Through Play in the Inclusive Classroom

A Wonderful Place to Learn

You are an early childhood professional, and your co-worker confides one day that she really dislikes the art center because the children hardly ever come to the art corner to play. When they do, they make a mess of all of the materials.

• Provide suggestions that you would give your co-worker that could increase the attractiveness and usefulness of the art center.

• Describe how your co-worker could provide materials which will encourage independence and creativity in the children, yet keep the art center organized and useable

• Be sure to provide references to any resources your co-worker could utiliz.
