This measure focuses on equipment and materials that appear inviting and reflect the children’s interests. They should be labeled and appropriately arranged so the children know where to find things and easily select and return items. Some examples of these materials include shelves, baskets, containers, and labels. The open shelving, if included, must be at an appropriate height for children.
