Custom Height Room Dividers from Portable Partitions

Splitting Daycare Classrooms Using Custom Height Room Dividers

A critical part of learning is ensuring a good ratio between educator and students. Having this privilege means educators will have more time and focus on their students' individual learning needs. This dedicated attention can spell the difference in a child's learning especially in their early developmental stages. As a result, a better learning environment is formed, allowing students to be more engaged, becoming confident learners and communicators while building solid relationships along the way.

The advantages of having the right educator-to-student ratio are tightly regulated. But the challenge is where to get extra classrooms when classroom space is slowly becoming a depleting resource. Our education industry is already facing a shortage of classrooms due to overcrowding and a growing population. Whilst the ratio impacts staff numbers directly, it indirectly impacts learning areas within a facility. Flexibly space allows for different sized areas depending the the group sizes for each particular day.

To address this, Penrith Early Learning Centre needs to have the option of splitting their rooms into 2 or 3 learning areas to accommodate different age groups of varying sizes. Another concern that they needed to address was that the mobile room dividers should be low enough for them to monitor in one place what all the kids are doing, and be high enough to prevent kids from reaching and pulling onto each other while in their respective areas.
