As in
well known by now, children will take in everything they see around them which
will later influence them. This trait is most evident in learning centers that
are usually enclosed. All of these would need to have the children to explore,
develop a sense of control and focus which is necessary for their total
development. Childcare furniture falls under this.
The
kind of surroundings that the child sees will create a stronger relationship
among their peers and persons of authority (adult teacher-mentors). All of
these are expressed in the spaces and materials they occupy. With the correct
design, they can give the child a sense of security.
Configuration
When
deciding for the correct arrangement of furniture and other equipments inside the
learning center, the main concern is the health and safety of the occupants. In
relation to this, the furniture and other paraphernalia will have to be checked
of potential hazards.
These
furniture pieces are primarily for the promotion of play while avoiding
injuries. Today’s children’s furniture pieces have designs that allow safety
first and foremost and they come in different sizes and shapes.
Accessibility
One
example of is allowing the many uses of low and high in furniture pieces. The fear
is that the pieces might be too accessible from to another and it may encourage
jumping off from one piece to the next one.
In another case, it had been decided that it is a good idea of segregating and playing spaces for the children. The furniture pieces for sleeping are not fit and will not do well in spaces for play or romping around. In another way, this teaches the children the proper use of the pieces as they grow and learn.

Activities
The aim
is not to scrimp the children’s natural wants of movement even within the
learning center. This can be allowed with the underlying theme of preventing
unsafe activities that children really want to do --- running, climbing and
romping around.
These tendencies
might be considered if children would want to play rough and tumble using the
furniture pieces. The caregiver has to ensure that the children are within
his/her view at all times from any part of the room.

Space
When
you decide on creating an indoor child care environment (which should include
everything, including the furniture) state licensing regulators had covered
them all. To be sure, it is always best to consult a licensor.
As had
been emphasized, the main factors considered is to make sure all the health and
safety regulations before doing the business dealings with the children.
Regulations
As
presented before, the main factors considered is making sure all the health and
safety regulations before doing the business dealing with the children.
One
important condition that had been overlooked sometimes is that the place should
be well-lighted, the room should have some good air flow, and that they should
be kept at a comfortable temperature and humidity.
This is
one of the ways in having the childcare furniture pieces functional and effective in a learning center.
