An open space environment encourages children to take responsibility for their learning. It also promotes critical thinking, as children are given the freedom to make choices and figure things out independently.

Learning to Focus Amidst Distractions

Learning to Focus Amidst Distractions

Children learn to concentrate and filter out distractions, engaging in activities that require sustained attention, such as reading, problem-solving, or group projects. Over time, this helps them develop the ability to focus on tasks, even when there are other things happening around them.

Promotes Active Learning

In an open space, children can be more physically active and engage in hands-on learning. Active play, which is critical at this stage, supports fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, and brain.
