Abstract
The purpose of this study is to suggest the planning guide for babies' (under three years old) room in the nursery school. We have investigated the care by the nurse staff for the babies' activities at five nursery schools. Those schools are known to having most typical babies' room plannings in Japan. The results of this first paper are summerized as follows; 1. The method of nursing babies tends not to be individual but grouped. 2. The main babies' daily activities are divided into two groups; feeding, napping, and playing are the first, and excreting, dressing, and hygiene are the second. The latter activities are inserted into the conversions of the former ones. The daily program which is mapped out by these activities is begun to be assigned since the babies are the second half of 0 year old, and it is able to be carried out without troubles when they become two years old. 3. The daily program in the grouped method is carried out through the care by the nurse staff. 4. Considering the tendency of babies' grouped activities, the care by the nurse staff seems to be necessary particularly at the nursing conversions. The care at the nursing conversions is one of the important factors which decide the babies' room planning.
