My Project

Help me give my classroom spaces to learn by providing beautiful and calming rugs. I teach lower elementary in a public Montessori school. We love our spaces dearly. Everything is designed for the young child in mind and with that our students spend a good portion of the time learning on the floor. Children enjoy the freedom of movement this provides.

The Lakeshore rugs would provide plenty of space for children to learn in a way that best suit their needs.

Students would enjoy these rugs for years to come.
