Chapter 1 provides an overview of research findings concerning the way children learn and the environments that best facilitate their learning. Chapter 2, which explains ways to set up an activity-oriented classroom, covers the administration's role in program planning, ways of enlisting help from parents, the physical environment, activity-oriented schedules, learning stations, and child-centered games and activities.
