Now that the new school year is fully under way and you’ve purchased all of your classroom supplies and teaching necessities, you may find that you have a little extra leftover in your budget – emphasis on little. If you’re trying to decide how and on what you want to spend the remainder of your budget, you may be surprised to hear that you can get high-quality classroom rugs from industry-leading brand names like Carpets for Kids and Joy Carpets for not a lot of dough.
Although teachers and educators recognize the educational value of classroom carpets and appreciate the role they play in making learning fun and engaging, many just assume that they are out of their reach because of budget-busting price tags. But this is simply not the case!
