b. Identify and describe the developmental characteristics of the preschool age group.

c. Design and describe the physical layout of the facility or classroom that aligns with Piaget's Stage Theory. Use evidence from the text or other scholarly resources when describing your layout. (You may use a software application that provides graphic layouts like Classroom Architect or create your layout in a word document.)

d. Create one activity for each developmental domain. Make sure to include a detailed description with a step-by-step procedure that includes required materials (i.e. clay, puzzles, etc.). Discuss how each of these activities maximizes development and align to Piaget's Stage Theory.
