The Need for Kindergarten Classrooms

As students grow out of their early learning experiences and into elementary school, their classrooms need to grow with them. Low shelving lets kindergarteners easily reach items and supplies. Collaborative tables provide plenty of space for children to work individually or in groups, and comfortable seating options help children maintain focus throughout the school day.

What Makes a Great Kindergarten Classroom?

For Students

The kindergarten classroom should help prepare children for elementary school by offering opportunities to collaborate or work together in groups at various learning stations. Each station should feature storage areas to make it simple for early learners to find toys, manipulatives, or project supplies they prefer. Furnishings should be appropriately sized for early learners to stay comfortable throughout the day.

For Teachers

The kindergarten classroom should feature furnishings with low profiles to ensure all children can be seen at all times, no matter where they are in the room. Teachers should easily move between stations as they observe children or oversee lessons and activities. Shelving, carts, and locking storage units keep classroom materials organized and out of reach.

For Administrators

The kindergarten classroom should be furnished with items that help achieve the vision for that space. All products must be available when needed with correct, on-time delivery and quick, efficient installations.
