Case Study
A local nursery is undergoing some major renovations which include adding two additional rooms. One room will be used by 2-3-year olds and the other is an additional room for the 3-5-year olds. You have been asked to help with planning the new rooms.
- What kinds of resources would be on your wish list to support each of the following:
- Cognitive development
- Speech, language and communication development
- Physical development
- Social and emotional development.
- Would there be any different in the two rooms to make them more appropriate for the age of the children?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
