The aim of this study is to see how physically available preschools are for all children and too see if the children meets limitations, and if so are these limitations holding back the children’s independence. I also want to see what the teachers think of the physical availability for all children in preschool. The questions I have focused on for this study is: • Is the indoor environment physical available for all children in preschool, and if not, does it limit the children´s independence? • Which are the teacher´s views on availability for all children in preschool? In order to answer the questions I have done observations and inventories, I have also interviewed three teachers to back up my results. My conclusion is that there are a few limitations that the children meet on a daily basis. Most of it takes place in the hallway and in bathrooms/baby changing rooms. The analysis shows that the hallway is too small to include all children and to make it completely available for everyone. Also in the bathrooms/ baby changing room there are difficulties to include all children. For example is the changing table to high and the children needs to climb up a stepladder and not all children have that possibility. A thing like this limits the independence for some children. To do this research I have used a phenomenological perspective.
