Your child’s school and classroom is like a home where he/she spends a largepercentage of his waking hours. The ambience and construction of these important spaces plays a vital role in their growing up and impacts their learning significantly. If the classrooms are dull and depressing, kids would not be enthusiastic about attending school and learning will become a less engaging experience for them.With many international education brands making their presence felt, preschoolpartnering business opportunities in India are rising too and so is thecompetition. Professional help is being taken to ensure the interiors and the exteriors of the school are bright and cheerful, so the child and his parents are attracted suitably. If the classroom are well-lit and have good ventilation, it will boost the student’s engagement. The following factors play a major role in providing a better learning experience for kids:Natural Lighting: If your child’s classroom is deprived of natural lighting,there may be great dependency on artificial lighting which is known to alterthe circadian rhythm of children. Artificial lighting can change the sleep-wakecycle and the production of melatonin (sleep hormone). Ensure your child’sschool has enough natural lighting so that he develops a greater sense ofphysical and mental comfort while imbibing knowledge.2. Classroom Temperature: The classroom environment may be not beconducive to learning if the temperature and humidity levels are high. Thishappens in countries with tropical climate and hence it is necessary toregulate the ambient climate. Large open windows will ensure there is goodventilation while fans will help in circulation of air. If students experiencediscomfort due to the weather conditions, their attention spans could furtherdeteriorate and productivity can be significantly reduced.3. Air Quality: If the classroom receives the right amount of oxygen, the child’scognitive functions are enhanced and it also helps in improving learning.However, with widely-prevalent air pollution and dust, the use of airconditioning has increased. There is a possibility of students feeling drowsysince adequate ventilation is not provided which leads to a feeling ofdrowsiness. Students may not be able to concentrate for long hours if theschool has bad air quality and this can affect their performance at school.4. Personalized classrooms: As a school owner, if you want to foster the rightlearning atmosphere, it is important create an environment that promotes it.Make sure the acoustics of the classroom are right so there are no echoesand the kids can hear properly. The lesser the external and backgroundsounds, the easier it is for a child to focus and understand class lessons.5. Colour: Our quality of perception is enhanced when we are surrounded bybright and vibrant colours. Classroom seem like a much better place if thewalls are painted with such colours which creates a vibrant atmosphere. Our

emotions and moods can be directly affected by bright colours and this has adirect impact on learning and academic performance. Our mind formsnegative and positive perceptions of space depending on the colours they areimmersed in. A classroom should strike the right balance of colours asextremely bold and bright colours can distract the child. Complementing thefurniture and other knickknacks can help to balance the bold and sobercolours and create an optimal learning environment.Even the best playgroup school in India may not reach its targeted growth if theabove points are not considered while conceiving the school.
