Arrange your room.

Measure the inside width and depth, then each piece of furniture. Use decimal feet: 10 ft 6 in = 10.5 ft. Save a layout file to keep your work, and open that file here whenever you want to continue.

Work from the room you actually have.

Enter the room size. Use the inside faces of the walls. This planner supports rectangular rooms from 6 to 80 feet in each direction.
Mark fixed features. Add doors, their full swing areas, windows, sinks, and obstacles. Place opening markers against the appropriate wall.
Measure and place furniture. Add an item, enter its actual dimensions, then drag it or use the position fields and arrow buttons. Each arrow moves it three inches.
Review daily routines. Allow space for chairs in use, doors opening, adults helping children, and movement between activities. Compare another arrangement before moving the real furniture.
Keep your layouts. Give each arrangement a name, such as “Living room A,” and choose Save layout file. Use Open saved layout to continue on this or another device. Print a separate copy for your room walkthrough. Saving is not automatic.

The sample sizes and route widths are starting points. Overlap alerts compare drawn footprints; they do not verify sightlines, exits, licensed capacity, building requirements, or assessment scores. A clear alert area does not mean a room is safe or compliant.

Recheck the furnished room from your actual caregiving positions during play, meals, diapering, rest, and transitions. Read Head Start’s active-supervision guidance.
