At Puddle Jumpers we have put a lot of thought into the design of our environment.
Resources are at the child’s height so they can direct their own play experiences, the walls and furniture are a blend of neutral colours to create a sense of calm, displays are clutter free and visually enticing encouraging everyone to celebrate the wonderful opportunities and experiences that are available at Puddle Jumpers.
The resources available to each group are age appropriate, however we value the benefits of risk and challenge so use every opportunity to develop the children’s awareness, independence and ability to self-care.
Our rooms have quiet and calm spaces so that children can rest when needed and the zones we create for exploration of messy materials are carefully placed away from where children may prefer to engage in quieter play.
We review our environments regularly to ensure they are appropriate for the children who use them, when we feel children have outgrown the learning in their room we arrange the transition to the next room with you.
