Recommendations were for directors/education coordinators and teachers to acquire more detailed information through reading professional journals and by their participation in workshops and conferences related to the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition on the curriculum offered in preschool centers. Additionally, it was recommended that parents become more familiar with the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition offered in preschool centers through reading relevant information and materials and participation in parent education programs and preschool open houses. It was further recommended that education and training specific to the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition be made available to directors/education coordinators, teachers, and parents through community college and university training programs, workshops, and conferences.

520 # $a Recommendations were for directors/education coordinators and teachers to acquire more detailed information through reading professional journals and by their participation in workshops and conferences related to the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition on the curriculum offered in preschool centers. Additionally, it was recommended that parents become more familiar with the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition offered in preschool centers through reading relevant information and materials and participation in parent education programs and preschool open houses. It was further recommended that education and training specific to the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition be made available to directors/education coordinators, teachers, and parents through community college and university training programs, workshops, and conferences.
520 # $a Results of the study indicated the following: (a) the components of facility design had varying degrees of effect on the curriculum offered from the perspectives of directors/education coordinators, lead teachers of 3- and 4-year-old children, parents of 3- and 4-year-old children. Components such as clearly defined learning centers, accessibility of materials to the children, toileting facilities adapted to the child's size and within the classroom had a very great effect on the curriculum offered. Storage areas for toys, windows low enough for the children to view the outdoors, size of the indoor and outdoor play areas were among the components of facility design that had a great effect on the curriculum. (b) The components of equipment acquisition had varying degrees of effect on the curriculum offered from the perspectives of directors/education coordinators, lead teachers of 3- and 4-year-old children, and parents of 3- and 4-year-old children. Child-sized furniture and equipment, a variety of equipment and materials, and age-appropriate equipment were components of equipment acquisition that had a very great effect on the curriculum offered. (c) Head Start teachers were more aware of the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition on the curriculum offered in preschools than were teachers in private-for-profit preschools. This may be related to the specific training required for the teaching staff as determined by the Head Start Performance standards. (d) Head Start education coordinators were more aware of the effects of facility design and equipment acquisition on the curriculum offered in preschools than were directors of private-for-profit preschools. This also may be related to the specific training required for the education coordinators as determined by the Head Start Performance standards.
520 # $a The purposes of this study were (a) to identify the effects of facility design on the curriculum offered in preschool centers, and (b) to identify the effects of equipment acquisition on the curriculum offered in preschool centers.
520 # $a The research design was a descriptive, nonexperimental study with the population consisting of directors/education coordinators, lead teachers of 3- and 4-year-old children, and parents of 3- and 4-year-old children from randomly selected Head Start and private-for-profit preschool centers in the central Florida counties of Alachua, Brevard, Flagler, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia. National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredited and nonaccredited Head Start and private-for-profit preschool centers participated in the study.
