Pre-K Classroom Set Up:

Given the classroom’s dimensions and amenities, the pre-k classroom will be aligned as closely as possible to ECRS-R (Early Childhood
Environment Rating Scale, Revised). This scale consists of 43 items organized into 7 subscales:

Space and Furnishings Interactions Activities Language-Reasoning

Personal Care Routines Program Structure Parents and Staff

ECRS-R guidelines are the back bone of the pre-k classroom. Once the guidelines are structurally in place, the centers and lessons are
created according to the Units of Study, Pre-K scope and sequence.
