I liked this site when my kids were little.

https://www.forsmallhands.com

The items are broken into subjects, so you can plan the room around centers of learning to keep yourself organized.

Lakeshore
Dollar Tree
Target

I would get sensory materials, visuals of letters/numbers, books, and ask your PS/PK teacher

We’ve resisted screen time until a few weeks ago. We discovered Khan Academy for 3-4 year olds. It’s actually very good- our DD spends about 30 minutes a day on it.

Would love to hear from teachers or other preschool parents how they're setting up their home to resemble a class. I've been looking to pinterest to get ideas, but get overwhelmed to decorate the small living room space we have.

Also, are there any educational stores in the DMV area where teachers go to decorate their preschool classroom? Or maybe I'm overthinking and theres a small list of must haves I should just get.

Thanks!


Our teachers got a lot of cool things for their rooms from Dollar Tree and Walmart.

At that age just play. Sing songs. Maybe get a few puzzles and sensory materials if you don't have them. No special decor or supplies are needed. Hang your child's art if you want.

As for other items, I have no idea. Things kiddos can use to stack, build, sort, measure, count, etc. A soft pillow or chair to read on. Flash cards if you find any that are useful, and books of course. Paper, scissors, markers, paint. Anyone else have any ideas?


Oops, "days" of the week. Other than the charts/calendar, the other stuff I mentioned isn't decorative per se, but it does give a classroom vibe to me, and probably to your kiddo, too.

I've come to the realization that my prek4 son will be doing online learning at home. Would love to hear from teachers or other preschool parents how they're setting up their home to resemble a class. I've been looking to pinterest to get ideas, but get overwhelmed to decorate the small living room space we have.
