Room Dividers for Schools from Portable Partitions

Instant Child-friendly Rooms Using Customised Room Dividers

Kindergarten is an important milestone in a child's education. It is when children develop their social skills, get exposed to new ideas and concepts, and appreciate the joy of learning with group activities and interaction, such as communicating, drawing, and making things together with other children their age. Teachers and carers look for every opportunity for the young students to get to know each other better, including designing seating arrangements that encourage interaction and sharing.

However, it's a different scenario when two age groups of young students are in the same room. Kindergarten often have multiple groups (of varying ages) using the same space - causing mayhem and chaos. Imagine the challenge that the teachers go through in educating and playing with tots, not to mention how the noise and rowdiness intervenes with the children's learning.

So how do different kindergarten programs go about this? Happy Kids Kindergarten, a long day care centre at Lane Cove, recently got in touch with Portable Partitions Australia (PPA). They asked PPA to assist them in making a movable wall to separate two age groups in a main room. They wanted a room divider where supervisors should still be able to see the children on both sides of the screen; hence, the height of the room partition had to be customised.
