Answer to Question 1

Cognitive development can determine how much a child understands about risk or even if there is risk. A baby will be unable to determine risk, a toddler will be into mastery and may not totally understand risk, and a preschooler will have some basis of knowledge of risk and therefore be more safe.

Answer to Question 2

Shared spaces are multi-use facilities where activities other than early childhood education take place, such as a church or gym. Because the space has other uses, it is extremely important to anticipate hazards that might be presented, such as leftover small toys or art materials from a church room that holds scout meetings. Monitoring is constant and should be done very thoroughly before using the space for early childhood education. Modification is done on a regular basis, after monitoring, and converts the space for early childhood education.
