All elements of a classroom – from decorations and wall coverings to furnishings and rugs, to materials provided for children to use – all these things represent opportunities to be intentional in creating a supportive, inspiring environment for children. What makes a beautiful, inviting environment for work and play? A “less is more” approach can reduce clutter, “noise” and distraction, and inspire children to engage, relax, focus and play.
