Kindergarten Classroom Setup: Classroom Tour and Organisation Ideas (My Classroom 2023)
Starting at a new school this year meant I also had the exciting opportunity to create a brand-new kindergarten classroom setup. One of my favourite parts of teaching is designing a classroom environment that feels welcoming, organised, and inspiring for young learners. Of course, the most important part of my classroom is my amazing students, but today I wanted to share a tour of my kindergarten classroom setup and some organisational ideas that help our learning space run smoothly.
I absolutely LOVE this classroom. It is a beautiful, light-filled room that was once part of a family home! At my school, several old houses have been thoughtfully transformed into classrooms and office spaces, which gives our learning environments so much character. My classroom has large windows, a cosy bay window with a bench seat, plenty of space, great storage, and even a sink – it truly ticks all the boxes for a functional early years classroom setup.
Below, you’ll find photos of my kindergarten classroom layout and organisation ideas. I hope this classroom tour gives you some inspiration for your own learning space. Please note that I have included a few affiliate links to help you quickly find the resources I use and love in my classroom.
Kindergarten Classroom Setup – Resources
I have always loved Schoolgirl Style classroom designs and décor. The room transformations on their Instagram are so inspiring! I decided I needed a little taste of a Schoolgirl-Style classroom, so I used the Woodland Whimsy tree and butterfly cut-outs to decorate my classroom. To make the words AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN HERE!, watercolour letter clipart from Etsy is used.
Dotted around my classroom, there are resources from Gifted and Talented Teacher, including daily schedule cards and birthday posters to display our class birthdays. My alphabet posters are from Prepping for Prep, and my number posters are available in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.
One of my favourite areas of our classroom is our affirmation mirror. I love seeing my students dancing in the mirror and reading the affirmation words. The cards are from Classroom HQ.
I have thirteen incredible learners in my class, and I really enjoy that we can all sit at the same table. (I had 28 students at my last school, so I know I am very blessed to have a small class!) We have shared supplies, and these table caddies from Elizabeth Richards have been perfect!
I have never met a teacher who doesn’t love a good storage system! I love a place for everything; it’s just the person I am. It is also super helpful to have containers and routines for classroom storage so my students can access the materials and equipment. I have made many labels myself, and there is a mix of designs and sizes to suit my classroom’s needs.
Kindergarten Classroom Setup Inspiration
In wrapping up, stepping into my new classroom this year has been an exhilarating journey filled with creativity and care. As you’ve seen from the pictures, every corner of this space has been thoughtfully organised to foster a warm and engaging learning environment. Ultimately, this classroom isn’t just about organisation and decor – it’s about the spark of curiosity in each student’s eyes, the laughter that fills the air, and the community we have built. Whether you’re embarking on a whole room transformation or simply looking for creative ideas, I hope these insights and snapshots from our wonderful learning environment have inspired you. Here’s to an amazing year of growth and discovery!
Happy learning, and remember to teach big and change the world!
