In our Saturday Gathering on 10/24, we will be exploring the environment of the Westwood Early Childhood Center.

Here are some guiding questions to consider when exploring environments:

• On what values do you base the design of your environment?
• What do you see in the environment as potential for beauty, integration, fluidity?
• What struggles do you have? What issues in your context cannot be changed?
• How do you strategize to deal with them?
• How can infant/toddler environments integrate beauty, experiences, materials and safety?
• How can we make the most of the unique aspects of our context?
