Setting up your classroom for a new school year is about more than aesthetics; it's about building an environment that nurtures growth, wellbeing, and a deep sense of belonging. In this webinar, we’ll explore how intentional choices of furniture, materials, and layout can support developmental needs, nurture independence, and create inclusive spaces for diverse learners. Participants will consider how to prepare a responsive learning environment rooted in developmental best practices and aligned with program goals. We’ll also share practical tools like sample room designs, materials checklists, and year-long planning tools for an evolving learning space, without the overwhelm.
