Use of Interest Areas
The use of interest areas appeals to the range of children’s interests
Interest areas provide children an opportunity to pursue their interests and learn skills and concepts
High quality interest areas enable children to learn no matter what interest area they are in
Considerations for Interest Areas
Do the areas reflect the interests of the children?
Do the areas facilitate a number of teaching objectives?
Do they reflect the program’s philosophy?
Interest Areas to Include
Blocks Dramatic Play/House Center Table Toys Art Sand and Water Library Outdoors
