Please use the chalkboard menu on the left to visit the pages of the providers who have generously shared their setup photos with us. ***** All photos shared on this website have been added with permission and full authorization of the owner. No photos or locations will be used without permission of all persons involved. If you are submitting pictures that contain photos of your children- whether it be in child care or classroom settings- please have permission of each child’s parent before submitting the photo. Most parents will love it but I know there will be some who may have reservations. If you do have permission to share the photos please tell the parents so they can view the website. I think they would enjoy seeing how much fun their children are having! ***** The sole purpose of this group is to inspire and share wonderful ways of setting up an efficient and useful learning environment. Your learning environment should promote learning through play and exploration. Your space should provide a wide variety of learning opportunities that are stimulating and challenging to the children you teach and provide care for. We want our site to show you a large variety of examples of learning spaces. Some of the spaces will be small, some will be large. We will also have examples of public and private school classrooms. You may not work in a private or public school system but we are all in the business of early childhood learning and we have a lot to learn from one another. I want to make it perfectly clear that it’s not important always to have a large space. What is important is how you use the space you have ! Our photographs will provide viewers with a wide variety of store bought ideas and just as many terrific ideas that are homemade and easy for you to do on your own. This will be a tour where you will see wonderfully creative and innovative ideas without leaving the comfort of your home. Our virtual tour website will allow you to view photographs from all across the United States. So sit back and put your feet up, enjoy a cup of coffee or your favorite soft drink and enjoy the tour. This site will grow and improve as time goes by. If you have photographs of your home daycare, home school area or your school classroom and you would like to share, encourage, inspire other providers and teachers please feel free to send your photographs with a brief description of what we are seeing and we will be glad to post them on our virtual tour website. To send pictures, please use the menu on the left and click on the "Contact Us" button. Be sure and tell everyone about our site. I really want this site to be a great Resource Site for anyone working with children. This can also be a wonderful way of advertising your business to perspective parents. They can view the virtual tour and see your photos. It may give them the opportunity to see different centers their children will have access to. It will also give them the opportunity to view your child care or classroom setting ahead of time or before and interview. This could be very helpful to them in making their decision about child care.
