Engaging elementary school spaces spark young minds, fostering creativity, collaboration, and skill-building. Our agile furniture makes transitions between independent work and group activities seamless, supporting exploration and innovation.
Fidgeting: A Brain Booster
Fidgeting isn’t a distraction – it’s a brain booster. Children, whose physical and mental development is still in progress, require frequent movement. That’s why we see students instinctively tip their chairs back – they’re responding to their body’s need for motion. Providing chairs that support natural movement helps meet this need without any safety concerns.
Elementary-aged children can sit still for only about a minute at a time, and even older students and adults benefit from changing positions every 15 to 20 minutes.
Social & Emotional Well-Being
Well-designed environments that prioritize social and emotional well-being foster equity and inclusivity, ultimately enhancing learning outcomes.
Teachers who use agile spaces cultivate a sense of community by supporting both independent work and teamwork through various group dynamics – large and small – alongside reflective, self-guided learning activities. This approach places students at the heart of their learning journey, empowering them to shape the why, what, and how of their educational experiences. Designed for collaboration, these spaces offer numerous opportunities for learners to demonstrate mastery of both skills and content.
