Abstract: | Thoughts of changing the physical environment of a child care center strike fear into the hearts of all center personnel, which arises from images of disrupted schedules, unhappy children, and harried staff. Frequently directors and other staff admit the necessity of making the environmental changes but can generate little enthusiasm for the remodeling process.Donna M.
