| Safety |
Safety aspects including activity spaces and materials that are safe for children to use were considered as an important part of preschool quality. |
| Security |
Security aspects concerning a preschool’s resilience against potential harm from intruders were also equally significant in consideration of preschool quality. |
| Space limitation |
Principals felt that the availability of space determined the possibility of accommodating dedicated spaces for activities while the present scenario of space limitations hindered the possibility of creating dedicated corners for activities. |
| Licensing requirements |
Statutory requirements were fulfilled to merely attain license renewal as certain statutory requirements were deemed insignificant in contributing towards the built environment quality of preschools. |
| Parental demands |
Parental demands and concerns played a role in determining the type of activity spaces provided by principals which would ultimately affect the quality of the built environment of preschools. |
