We need new carpets in our kindergarten classroom. Our kindergarten students spend a significant amount of time on the floor, engaging in activities and group learning. New carpets will provide a cushioned surface that reduces the risk of injuries from falls and ensures that children are comfortable during these activities.
Carpets improve our learning environment, encourage group interactions, and create a warm inviting space for little learners.
Carpets help define different areas within the classroom, such as reading corners and activity zones. This organization fosters a structured and engaging learning environment where children can easily transition between activities.
A well-designed carpeted area encourages scholars to gather and collaborate during group activities. This fosters social interaction and cooperative learning in a comfortable, defined space.
Carpets make the classroom feel more welcoming and cozy, helping students feel secure and engaged. A positive environment is essential for their emotional and educational development.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
