In this paper, we want to address the issue of the
relationship between social space, education methods and institutions that
carry out education today and project the future of the society: human, social,
economic and cultural. The inclusion of infants and children in education in
our day in the Korça region, Albania, has attracted the attention of the
University and local municipal institutions, in order to form them in
accordance with the best educational programs and perspectives used today.

Over the last years in Albania, pre-university
education such as university campuses has been overwhelmed by political changes
in the country, but also by new visions driven by both the outside and the
emerging needs of the country. Albania has a set of well-developed laws for
covering sectoral policies and delivery of services to all children (0 to 18
years). However, a suitable environment for early childhood development has not
yet been established.

Basically,
early childhood education, care and development are a proven and very important
investment in national wellbeing. Investing in quality early-learning programs
is one of the most effective ways to improve children’s success in school, to
increase incomes and to reduce costs to society. In Albania there is a wide
range of early childhood development services, including childcare, pre-school
education and programs for vulnerable children. Early childhood development is
a multidimensional process. To meet the diverse needs of children during the
first years of life, government coordination is indispensable both horizontally
in different sectors, and vertically from local to national levels.

We
will try to present the conditions and qualities of buildings and facilities of
the century 21's, along with trends toward standards of new Early Childhood
school, to offer the knowledge required by implementing them new standards. The
theoretical part analyses some important information child care centers,
function-related, space and safety, decoration, comfort, materials, the
relationship between educators and children and many other factors.

The programs and curricula that take place today at
our University aim to build an education with contemporary standards, in
cooperation with local administrations and organized institutions that care for
infants and children. This cooperation has created examples of good practices
in the Early Childhood School of our region.
