RULE §747.2503How must I arrange the space used by pre-kindergarten age children?

The pre-kindergarten age care area(s) must include:

  (1) Space to set up interest centers or focused play areas during the activity, such as arts and crafts, music and movement, blocks and construction, drama and theater, math and reasoning activities, science and nature, language and reading activities, such as books, story tapes and language games, stories read or told on a weekly basis, and cultural awareness, which are:

    (A) Organized for independent use by children; and

    (B) Arranged so the children's activities are visible to the supervising caregiver;

  (2) Space for furnishings and activities without limiting children's movement; and

  (3) Space that children are allowed to find or create individual activities, but which still permits the caregiver to easily supervise.
