Flexible seating in the classroom includes a variety of chair styles. One of the most popular in preschool classrooms is floor seats. Young learners are brimming with energy and having a means to release it keeps students more alert and focused, improves engagement and boosts academic performance. Classroom floor seating encompasses many designs but all have a seat that rests on or close to the floor. Thick foam mats covered in vinyl come in several shapes from circles for single student seating to larger options such as wedges and rectangles to form horseshoe and circles for several students to sit comfortably. Other styles encourage rocking with rounded bases and ergonomic support in bright colors. Classroom floor seating offers students a choice from traditional chairs while still providing the same easy sanitizing and cleaning benefits.
