How do you set up a center for 4 year olds?

[SHerzberg]

Divide a section of the classroom into a few parts. (You can divide it with materials that would be used for each center- like bookshelves.) Think of centers that the children can use by themselves with a little monitoring- library, house, blocks, coloring ect. Once in a while you can create a special center- like water or rice tubs. These special centers should be part of your classroom curriculum and should be done in small groups with teacher supervision. Either create center time and/or when the children come in they can play at the centers.
