Yes, it is important. Children need to be comfortable to learn.Security is important. It is more secure in this area because we are gated. It is more secure for both children and teachers. Not like in commercial lots. They don’t have security because there is a gap from the car park which I feel is not safe for children. Yes, definitely important. It has to be safe to the children and flexible enough for us to conduct activities. And it has to be clean. Safety is the number one concern we should have. Yes, I quite agree because we are handling children. That is why space is very important. If they have space to move around, they are not grouped in one place and will not be so noisy. They also can have their private times. Secondly, I should say safety is important. So, the things that they use, for example, the cupboard they use cannot be taller than them.
