Generation Alpha is the first generation to grow up completely in the digital era, with unique characteristics that are significantly influenced by technology in aspects of their learning and social interactions. This research aims to explore the application of Person-Environment Fit (PE Fit) theory in designing early childhood education interiors, in order to create a learning environment that suits the needs of Generation Alpha. This study was carried out using a literature review method, which analyzed literature about the characteristics of the Alpha Generation, PE Fit theory, as well as supporting interior design elements. Research findings show that interior design that is flexible, technology-based, and supports sensory stimulation can increase children's engagement, motivation, and social-emotional development. This research highlights the importance of applying the PE Fit theory to create an optimal learning experience for Generation Alpha, even though there are several obstacles, such as limited funding, gaps in access to technology, and training needs for teaching staff.
