In this stage, the four essential activities will also be carried out: hygiene, nutrition,
stimulation and rest, only in a different way, except for hygiene which will be of the
the same way as in the section for infants under A.

In a spacious, well-lit, and ventilated room, mats or mattresses will be placed on the
floor for the child to carry out their rest and stimulation activities. At this age the
child begins to move by himself from one place to another, either by crawling (which is why they
they require mats), or moving on their lower limbs, so they

MATERNITY SECTION

After the age of one and up to three years, we generally refer to the first
childhood or maternal; during this period, children's skills begin to develop,
first in imitative form and later in constructive form, more than medically,
psychologically, this period could be subdivided into younger ones, who only imitate, and older ones, who
they begin their creativity. The child's main interest is to achieve control and recognition of
your own body, it is necessary to provide a classroom with the following characteristics for its
process of

of vocabulary, identification of images and use of language to convey needs and
experiences

The maternal care includes children aged from 12 to 24 months.

aged 24 to 36 months, being in this last stage when bowel control begins,
therefore it is necessary for the classroom and the restrooms to be nearby.

Younger Preschoolers: At this age, they identify the parts of their body, learn to perform
standing and sitting positions, to compare small-large sizes, starts to make use of
the potty and hand washing. For the development of these activities, a room is recommended.
spacious, equipped with chairs and children's tables, toy storage furniture and sinks

They state that it should be at a height of 60 cm so that the child can use them.

Older Kindergartens: In this stage, the child engages in the three daily educational activities.
the room should be spacious and will have children's tables and chairs, mats, and areas for
stored, where stimulation occurs, leading it to recognize and call for
his name to everyday objects, listens to short stories, starts to do exercises of
short time tables, sing, dance and listen to music.

PRESCHOOL SECTION
In preschool children, the basic interest is bodily control and mastery of their personal space.
therefore, their activities will mainly be aimed at achieving:

The management of basic coordination; mastery of language to receive and transmit information;
knowledge of the surrounding environment; acquisition of habits and management of social rules; management
of their affection: acceptance of delay, appropriate expression of their emotions and management of
Cognitive aspects. The preschool age is from 3 to 6 years old and the activities it develops.
In the nursery, they are multiple, so it is necessary to make a division according to their
interests among groups: preschoolers 1 (ages 3 to 4), preschoolers 2 (ages 4 to 5) and
preschoolers 3 (ages 5 to 6).

The classrooms must be equipped with children's tables and chairs, mattresses, blackboards, and boards.

access to the multipurpose classroom, to the cafeteria (if it exists) and to the playground. The cognitive area
is the most important at that stage, where the child learns to play musical instruments, to
draw, converse, and listen to events, also will carry out rhythmic exercises, sing and perform
activities such as greeting your educator and classmates. The breaks will be for periods of
very short time and it will be done on mats.

Hygiene consists of practicing cleanliness habits such as handwashing and tooth brushing, it is taught to

the educator will have visual control of everyone; the sinks will be for common use for both sexes.
It is recommended to place them outside the restroom area. In some institutions,
Daycares do not consider it necessary to separate restrooms by gender, so this area will be a
optional solution.

Older preschoolers may have annex classrooms for complementary teaching:

as a play corner, library room, cooking classroom, and workshop classroom.

COMMON AREA

Multipurpose Room: It should be a spacious area, well-lit and ventilated with an area
from storage attached to where group work routines are carried out, the child sees puppet theater,
he/she does theater performances, dances, and sings. In some institutions, daycare centers have
with a common area for the infants section, another for the toddlers section, and one more
for the preschool section; this will vary according to the budget and the capabilities that are being
driving, but each one will have the necessary characteristics to be able to fulfill the
work programs for each section. From this place there should be access to gardens, ducks or
squares, and being close to the sections for infants and preschoolers. Due to the great variety of

The furniture required for this room consists of children's tables and chairs. Washbasins will be placed, either
individuals or a running card, so that children wash their hands before eating
(doing it as a teaching-learning routine). It is advisable that it borders on the
multipurpose room and that these two rooms can be joined at a given moment to
create a large space where special activities take place involving parents
together with children.

It must have a food storage and handling area with a surface

minimum of 7m2.

In the case of including the Gessell camera in the architectural program, this cubicle only has

cubicle, in such a way that the psychologist can observe the child without being seen by him.

Other values of music for infants may be:

a personal turntable or a disco so that the music can be selected according to the program

This same sound will help create more suitable environmental conditions for the staff in

Regarding sculpture, it can take forms in furniture and equipment of the

nursery, making the child feel that a piece of furniture or a game can be practical as well

Painting

And regarding the painting, it can also be fully integrated into the nursery,
