My Project

My kids are always observing their environment. Using new inviting borders, and backing paper will make the room feel warm and safe. It will allow for my kids to feel at home in their classroom. Our classrooms look institutionalized. Time to upgrade to a new and improved look that will benefit us all! When you are proud of your room you are happier in your space which leads to a better learning environment. Prekindergarten kids need a happy place to be all day while learning and playing, so do their teachers.
