Read a sample Read a sample
Lisa Murphy on Child-Centered Environments provides an in-depth exploration of the author's approach to working with children. Lisa Murphy outlines nine characteristics programs need to build an environment that's child-centered, where play, developmentally appropriate practice, and academic standards all come together under one roof.
Nine characteristics of a child-centered environment:
  • 1. Children are provided long periods of uninterrupted free time to explore their environment
  • 2. Children are provided lots of time outdoors
  • 3. Children are able to explore the environment with few restrictions
  • 4. Adults control the environment, not the children
  • 5. Adults serve as facilitators within the space
  • 6. Adults articulate the intention behind their words and actions
  • 7. Adults are familiar with current research and the key contributions of historical child development theorists
  • 8. Adults are aware of the importance of keeping it real
  • 9. Children are provided time and opportunity to create, move, sing, discuss, observe, read, and play every day

    • Using true-to-life examples, anecdotes, and Lisa Murphy's signature conversational style, this book presents and explores the true identifying characteristics of a hands-on, play-based, child-centered environment.
