(Unit 5) Topic 6: Organizing Learning Centers

1 Clock Hour of Early Childhood Education

Typical Learning Centers in an Early Childhood Classroom

​Topic 6 Page 4

Picture
Technology
In today’s world, students are expected to eventually become fluent with technology. Including a technology center can help students become just that. This center typically includes desktop computer(s) with age-appropriate software and content, but can also include I-pads, tablets, interactive whiteboards, and cameras.  
Dramatic Play 
​At this center, students will be able to role play and act out a variety of careers, stories, and real-life situations that they see happening every day. They can use props such as play food, money, and dress up clothes while pretending to be someone different. This center develops social, fine-motor and language skills.

Writing/Literacy 
This center can include a wide-variety of materials that support pre-writing and writing skills, such as letter stamps, dry erase boards and markers, alphabet paper punches, scissor practice, as well as pencils and paper. The goal of the writing center should be to encourage children to begin expressing their ideas through drawing and print. ​
​The activities that educators design for these centers should be based on the current curriculum if possible. This ensures that the information being presented is relevant and meaningful to the children in your care. The idea is that the materials, manipulatives, projects and games presented at learning centers are all connected to a central concept or theme.

For example, if the current curriculum theme is the ocean, the science center may include a variety of shells with magnifying glasses. The literacy center would include books, both fiction and non-fiction, about sea creatures. The dramatic play center could be transformed into an aquarium. Relating all of the centers in your classroom will give students the opportunity to really delve into a subject and understand ideas on a deeper level.
