INTRODUCTION
Childcare education is referred to as the education which includes activities and different
experience which are created in order to give some knowledge and information to the child
before they enter their elementary education system (Sluss, 2018). Thus, it is very important for
the person to properly train and educate the children in their early age so that they are good at
ethical and moral values. Thus, the present report will discuss about some of the equipment of
outdoor and indoor learning which can be helpful for the person in making the child learn about
the basics of life before entering into the elementary education. Hence, for this it is necessary for
the person to give proper knowledge and education to the child so that they have good learning
since their childhood.
Range of criteria for assessment
List of criteria used for assessment
There are many different facts which the person might consider when they are giving
education to their children. This is majorly because of the fact that the indoor as well as the
outdoor environment impact the learning process of the child to a great extent. The indoor
environment is the environment where the child lives with their family and friends. On the other
hand, the outdoor environment is the environment wherein the child interacts when they go out
of their houses like in schools, at some function, event or any other public place apart from their
house. Thus, there are certain consideration which must be keep in mind at time of providing
education to the children.
For the indoor equipment and its use the first and foremost consideration is that the
people must not use any bad language or any abusive language in front of child among the
family. This is majorly because of the fact that when the people use abusive language in front of
child then they also learn the same thing very rapidly.
At time of outdoor learning equipment and material the most important consideration is
the fact that the parents must know that where their child is going and who are the friends and
where to they go (Dinkel and et.al., 2018). This is necessary because of the reason that with
which type of people the child lives makes the personality of the person. Thus, here this is very
important consideration which the parents of people educating the child must consider.

Rationale of criteria
The major reason behind the selection of this criterion is that the person most of the time
learns what they see and what is going around them. Rather what they learn in their school life or
by their course of learning (Storli and Hansen Sandseter, 2019). But the most important impact s
of the surrounding where they live and reside with others whether it is friends, family members,
peer or any other person. Hence, it is the responsibility of the person to maintain good and
congenial environment around the child so that they do not learn any other thing.
Evaluation
Clear evaluation of indoor equipment and material
There are a wide variety of indoor activities and games which can help the person to
develop their child into a good learner with help of these indoor activities and tools and
equipment. This tools and material includes many different things like the toys, games, clothes,
different tools of cleaning and many other electronic gadgets and many other games and toys
(Hewitt and et.al., 2018). This is because of the reason that with all these tools and equipment the
child can be taught many different things. Like for instance, the mind games will help person in
developing their mental strength of their child, the decision making games will help the child in
developing their ability of critically analysing and thinking.
Clear evaluation of outdoor equipment and material
The outdoor equipment and material are the things which help the person to develop their
child outside the home. This includes many different activities and equipment which will help
the child from away their home to learn some new and advance things. This can include many
different outdoor games and activities which can help develop the child. This can be helpful in
developing the child in team working as outside the home they will interact with other and play
with them. Thus, this will increase the communication skill, interpersonal skill and many other
skills of the person.
Clear role of adult
In success of the use of both the indoor as well as outdoor equipment and material is
based on the role of adult into this (Kroeker, 2017). This is majorly because of the reason that all
the guidance is being given by the adult only. The child does not know the importance of using
these equipment and also not have knowledge that why these equipment are being used for their

learning. Hence, all these things will be cleared by an adult only. Thus, adult plays an important
role in the learning and upbringing of the child in early age.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
In the end it is concluded that managing the time of learning of the child since early age
is very necessary. This is because the early age is very tender and here the person can be
moulded in accordance with the requirement of the world and its working. Hence, there is
requirement of proper learning and making the child understand about the life. The present report
discussed about the different techniques and equipment of learning indoor and outdoor.
The major recommendation to the person dealing with learning of children education is
that they must focus on outdoor learning more. This is majorly because of the reason that in this
highly populated environment the competition is very high and if the children will be given
education and learning since childhood then they will be able to learn in more effective and
efficient manner. Hence, this will give a wide range of learning and will help the child to work
and live in accordance with the latest changes going in the working environment.
