2. Resources

Read the following articles:  

Love to know Word doc - Local Copy	WDS
Top 10 Considerations for Designing a Paediatric Waiting Room	ImmunifyMe - Questions to ask when designing a Paediatric waiting room

3. Use the strategy, "Consider All Factors Analysis".

Does that give you a better idea of the types of things you need to consider?

Did you consider:

• The space required

• The toys and books

• The paint colour

• The music

 4. Look at the designing of Bubup Wilam for Early Learning

Are there any other factors you have learnt from this centre and need to consider for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children? You will need to investigate this site.

Add to your Consider All Factors [CAF] and discuss with your group.
