I have owned Early Learning Environments That Work since I taught an extension class at the college level using this as the text. It is one of the easiest texts to use when you are setting up a Preschool Classroom or making changes in your existing classroom. The picture of every idea that is presented is one of the nicest features of the text, as they give a visual of the author's ideas. Early Learning Environments That Work contains pages of graph paper for doing room layouts, inventory lists and many small projects to help make a preschool room ready for the children to come into and feel comfortable. Over the years of being a early childhood educator, this is one of my favorite reference books to use to help a new teacher or just to add an activity corner to a program to make the room more appealing and easier for both the children and teacher to use.
