Early Learning Classroom—Hub & Spoke

The Need for Hub & Spoke Classrooms

The hub and spoke classroom features a central gathering place that draws students together for circle-time activities. Learning stations radiate out from the central gathering place, so children can engage in activities that spark their enthusiasm. Low shelving units allow teachers and aides to see all children wherever they are in the room. Individual tables give children the space they need to work with manipulatives and materials.

Requirements for a Great Hub and Spoke Classroom

For Students

The hub and spoke classroom should incorporate a large, central hub with a cozy atmosphere where they can gather for full class activities. Learning stations should be easily accessible from the central hub and feature storage areas so toys, manipulatives and other items are easy to locate as needed.

For Teachers

The hub and spoke classroom should maximize the ability to move between the central gathering area and various learning stations to offer guidance to student activity groups. Mobile writing surfaces give teachers a place to write notes or display a storybook to the whole class or to a small group. Furniture should feature a low profile, so teachers can easily observe all students in the room.

For Administrators

The best hub and spoke classroom should be furnished with items that help achieve the vision for that space. They need to know that all products are available at the time they are needed and that their order will arrive correctly and on time. Installations must be quick and efficient.
