Playland vs. Workland

Playland vs. WorklandA Journey fromEarly Childhood Classroom toStudent Success Center

In the beginning

I inherited a space that was brain friendly, but overwhelming in the fun factor.

TOO MUCH STIMULUS!!!Our school OT suggested I remove some of the moving tags that hung from the ceiling. I did this, and left the covers over my lights, since I liked how it softened the lighting in the room.
