环境对幼儿的发展起着至关重要的作用。幼儿从出生开始,就无时无刻不是在与自己所生活的物质世界发生联系。他们喜欢用自己身体的各部分去探究周围的物质环境,感知物质世界的特征,在回应中逐步地了解周围的世界,进而认识周围的世界,最终走向自己未来的世界。伊丽莎白·普莱斯考特提出,儿童所储存的关于幼儿照料机构的记忆似乎“主要是触觉印象”。 The environment plays a crucial role in the development of young children. Since childhood, young children have been in contact with the material world in which they live all the time. They like to use the parts of their bodies to explore the surrounding physical environment, perceive the characteristics of the physical world, gradually understand the surrounding world in response, and then understand the world around them and eventually their own future world. Elizabeth Price Cout suggests that children’s memory of childcare facilities seems to be “mostly tactile.”
