This study analyses how school age children experience their educational environment. The objective is to collect the determining factors of aesthetic quality and comfort at school. A pluralistic methodology allows: gather both quantitative and qualitative data using photographic elicitation, and show the responses on an artistic way. Eighty-six children participate on this research; they are from 3 until 5 years old, and belong to rural and urban schools of Alicante. The results determine which places of school are more comfortable, pleasant and enjoyable in Early Childhood Education. Pupils are able to examine in a critically form their everyday educational activities and express their opinions supported by visual forms of communication. The findings offer two categories about how educational environments should be: pedagogic and architectural. With this scientific publication the extent of the minors’ voice is increased, so that educational institutions and policies can address it.
