Overcome traditional Classroom Limitations: Innovative Learning Spaces That Foster Comfort, Creativity, and Connection
At SolBe, classrooms comprise two distinct spaces—a Dwelling and a Yard. Dwellings are cozy, homelike spaces for quiet and focused activities. In contrast, the Yards provide the perfect space to make a mess, burn energy, or explore more active learning opportunity.
The inspiring and purposeful design of these spaces enhance the mutually beneficial relationship between your child’s, and our educators’, positive experience of daily routines and educational pursuits. Our design deeply integrates people and programs within the space to support both development and wellbeing.
