Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the quality of the kindergarten environment created on the development of children in the areas of health, language, social, science and art. The study was designed using a quantitative approach with a sample of 368 kindergarten teachers in Lanzhou, China, who taught children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. The sample for this study was selected through random sampling and the research instruments were a child development assessment form and a questionnaire to assess the quality of the environment created. The results of the study show a positive correlation between the quality of the kindergarten environment creation and the impact on the development of young children. In order to promote the holistic development of preschool children, we conclude the study with the following educational recommendations: kindergarten educators should focus on the quality of kindergarten environment creation and raise awareness of environment creation. Establish a physical and spiritual environment that is suitable for the development of young children. Children should have full contact with the quality of their kindergarten environment during their kindergarten life and learning. In doing different types of activities, children will develop more fully in the areas of health, language, social, science and art. Educators need to make use of a variety of materials in the kindergarten environment and also intervene when children are playing to create a quality and prepared environment for children. In future research, it is recommended that mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) be used, including interviews or observations, to give more depth to the study and to give a true picture of the impact of the quality of the environment on children's development.
