Centers and Materials in Early Chilhood Classroom

The centers and materials should be in early childhood classroom and the ways these centers should be organized

1.      Science center

Science center has to have materials for children to use when they are studying about science. As we can see on those pictures, children are using their science materials to explore their science knowledge.

2.      Art center

This is the area where children get chances to drew or paint on different pictures. This area must have many colors of markers, pencils, crayons and papers for children to use. Children like to use different colors when they are painting. Children develop different skills when they are at this center. They use their physically and mentality when they are at art center area.

3. Dramatic Center

Each classroom in early childhood classroom should have dramatic play area because they learn many things at this area. This area has to have different uniforms for different adults’ duties.   Teachers should put clothes from different cultures for boys and girls. Put different materials for different occupations. Children develop their social skills when they are playing dramatic paly. Children practice in adults’ activities by playing.

4. Cooking center

When children given chances to be at cooking center they learn many things such as:  measurements, how to read recipes, and how to cook different food. Children learn about measurements while they are at cooking center area. Children have to measure the sugar, water or salt to put at this amount of food.

5. Sand and Water center

When children have sand and water at their classroom, they get change to explore their physical development. Children play with sand and water are practicing eye, hand coordination and get opportunities to using their fine motor skills by doing different activities. For example, children can do scoop, silt, funnel and pour at this center. All those are very important things to the children’s development.

6.Manipurative center

At manipulative center, children learn how to count. They learn math in many ways when they are at this center. They can do addition, division and substation at manipulative center. They use materials they have at manipulative center to play and to learn mathematics without using papers or pencils.

7. Library center         

 Library center at early childhood classroom is very important in many ways. This area is where children learn how to read. Children know that when they are at library they have to have “low voices” not to talk to each other. Children get chance to choose what books to read while they are at library. Most of the times, teachers can read different stories to the children while they are at library, or let each child reads by his or her (self). If children have library center at their classroom, they know that this place helps them how to read.

8. Bocks center

Blocks is very important to the children’s growth. When children are playing with blocks, they can build different things by using blocks. When children are playing with blocks, they develop their learning in many domains. Such as: intellectually, physical, and social- emotional and language. Researches have proved that blacks play is fundamental for later cognitive success for learning math and numbers. Children can count how many blocks they put together when they are building different things. Children can say how many blocks they need in order to make certain objects etc. These are the best ways to learn mathematics for younger children.

ORGANIZATION OF CENTERS IN EARLY CHILHOOD CLASSROOM

 At this classroom with all those centers and that organization children will lean many things in each center.  This classroom will be for children of 3-6 years old.  Two children will share center. Each center will have to have materials for children with special need. For example autistic books, created by different roads, and   timers, counters and visual supports. Children learning by see and touching, this is the reason why each classroom should have many center and many materials.
