Gurgel, AnitaAmbasz, Diego2025-04-142025-04-142025-04-14https://hdl.handle.net/10986/43063This note aims to provide practical guidance to World Bank teams on how to support World Bank clients in designing and building and/or adapting pre-primary education PLEs that are conducive to quality ECCE, with an emphasis on play-based learning and environmental sustainability. While the note focuses primarily on early childhood education facilities, most of the approaches discussed are also applicable to childcare facilities, but topics more relevant to those designing spaces for infants and toddlers (e.g., related to activity, sleep, changing and food preparation areas) are also discussed. This note complements a series of World Bank resources on how to make school infrastructure at all levels healthier, more inclusive, resilient, teaching and learning-conducive, and greener or more environmentally sustainable, five strategies that constitute the RIGHT+ approach to ensure effective PLEs.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOQUALITY EDUCATIONPRACTICAL GUIDANCEPLAY-BASED LEARNINGCHILDCARE FACILITIESRIGHT+ APPROACHReportWorld Bank10.1596/43063
