Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Child-friendly means products that are safe for children to use; environment-friendly are products or ways that help conserve and protect the worlds environments (i.e. forests, water). Examples of environment-friendly products/actions include recycled paper, minimizing use of paper and plastic products (i.e. paper plates and cups), recycling, and conserving water.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
It is more important to select learning materials and equipment based on the knowledge of how children learn and develop. Reason: Children learn best through active involvement with the environment, so selection of equipment should be based on this knowledge. Providing opportunities for children to play, investigate, and discover the world around them promotes and encourages the skills and knowledge necessary for kindergarten readiness. Selecting equipment that supports childrens interest in learning in all areas encourages development of skills in the content areas (i.e. math, science, literacy, social studies) and in the arts.
