Description: When measuring space in child care facilities, it is important to follow guidelines set by the relevant regulatory authorities. These guidelines typically outline the minimum square footage requirements per child, depending on their age group. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the type of activities and furniture present in the space when measuring. Adequate room should be provided for children to engage in various activities, including play, eating, napping, and toileting. Clear pathways and sufficient space between furniture and #equipment should also be taken into account when measuring. This ensures safe and unrestricted movement for both children and staff within the #child-care facility. This resource, distributed by #MSDE, is to educate professionals of space requirements for #classroom-safety and other spaces in the #early-childhood setting.
