The design of the school will ensure that the classroom is spacious enough to accommodate learning and play activities. Learning desks will be neatly arranged on one side and certain spots set aside for the keeping of toys and room to play. The school will also have a different dining area that is not the classroom and a sanitary block where students can use to relieve themselves. These designs will promote their cognitive development. The play toys will also be designed in different colors and shapes as this will greatly enhance cognitive development. To promote language development the learning books will contain letters and pictures as this will ensure that students who don’t understand English can interpret the book by observing the picture. The play toys such as blocks, balls, playmats, and ropes will contain numbers and letters which will encourage learning even during playtime. Children with special needs will also have their own private spaces developed for them to enhance their comfort. For instance, those with physical impairments will be provided with appropriate aid to help them cope with the learning in class (Head Start, 2020).

Various activities will also be implemented to enhance cognitive and language development to all students including those with special needs and English learners. First, lessons will be conducted in a well-arranged classroom which will allow the teacher to monitor the students and ensure that every student is learning on the same page. During learning, teaching will entail the use of colors, letters, book pictures, and blocks that enhance cognitive development. With time, the students will manage to differentiate colors, shapes, and sizes. Language development will also be promoted by having the students describe pictures in their language and then teach them how to describe it in English. This will be beneficial to English learners in the class. The school will also provide students with special needs with visual aids, hearing aids, and any other equipment required to allow them to learn comfortable and enhance their cognitive and language development.

These structures and activities will promote cognitive development as they will allow students to learn comfortably in a physical environment. For instance, in addition to learning about shapes and sizes from books, the lessons can be made interesting by providing the students with actual play toys of different shapes and sizes. This will stick to their memory and thus, enhance their cognitive development. Books will also contain pictures and letters which will guide the students on how to properly read. This way, a student who might find it difficult to read certain words might identify the pictures beside the words, and this greatly enhances their cognitive development. By having the school partitioned into different sections (classroom, dining room, and sanitary facilities), the students will understand how uniformity is achieved by carrying out different activities at different places (Walden University, n.d.).

Language and literacy development will be enhanced by teaching kids using books, toys, charts, and other teaching aids. Having lessons with books only might seem monotonous and students will easily lose concentration. This, however, might be made interesting by including play activities during lessons. For instance, while learning about numbers and letters, the teacher can instruct the kids to sing them out while going round in a circle. This makes learning enjoyable and promotes language and literacy development. For English learners, allowing them to describe things in their own language then teaching them the English version of it will promote their learning. This, together with the use of pictures during teaching will enhance literacy development (Walden University, n.d.).
