A child-friendly learning environment is an important factor in supporting early childhood development. A safe, comfortable, inclusive environment that considers children's developmental characteristics provides opportunities for play, exploration, interaction, and meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to describe the role of child-friendly learning environments in supporting early childhood development, particularly in terms of physical conditions, social interactions, and learning processes. This research employs a literature review method by examining relevant scholarly sources on child-friendly learning environments and early childhood development. The data were analyzed descriptively through the identification, comparison, and synthesis of findings from the reviewed literature. The findings indicate that a child-friendly learning environment requires safe and comfortable spatial arrangements, appropriate educational play materials, positive teacher-child interactions, positive discipline, and learning activities tailored to children's needs and developmental stages. Furthermore, inclusivity and the protection of children's rights are essential principles for creating an environment that encourages every child to participate actively in learning. In conclusion, a child-friendly learning environment plays an important role in supporting children's physical and motor, cognitive, language, and social-emotional development. Its implementation requires careful planning and collaboration among teachers, parents, and educational institutions.
