In the popular book, Caring Spaces (recently revised by Mike Lindstrom), Jim Greenman describes two ways to think about child care. He explains:

“Facilities have always suffered because most people had a simple model of what was required for good child care.

The Simple Model of Child Care:

• Good People +
• Lots of Toys and Materials +
• Adequate Space = Happy Kids

A More Realistic Model of Child Care:

• Qualified, Educated, Observant Staff +
• Loose Parts, Non-Determinant Parts, Natural Materials +
• Ample Space, Sensory Exploration, Places for Safety/Risk = Quality Early Care and Education”

The newest revision of Caring Spaces, Learning Places is a book of ideas, observations, problems, solutions, examples, resources, photographs, and poetry. Here you will find current thinking about children's environments to challenge, stimulate, and inspire you.
