“One of my earliest memories is my first day at nursery school. It was a picturesque little hall, but the teacher’s face was silhouetted against light from the high windows, and glare from the dark parquet floor was dazzling. Apparently I played outside all day, refusing to come inside even for lunch, and I point blank refused ever to return! In contrast I remember playing happily inside floor to ceiling windows at my next nursery, overlooking a small wooded green. I suppose that is where my passion for learning environments stems from; the child’s view.”
