| Abstract: |
For anyone who has ever designed an early childhood classroom from scratch or ever tried their hand at a general makeover, you know the decisionmaking can be staggeringly complex. This article is designed to help you think about furniture and ultimately classroom design from a new perspective called Heart-Centered Design. In order to design classrooms with children's needs and interests in mind, we must seek, value and explore ideas with them regarding their classroom environment. To teach our children to be empathic in their lives, thoughts, actions and ideals, we must first approach classroom design and furniture designs as the systems that they are: systems that begin with the notion of functionality and may possibly accommodate nature.
