Do you use center signs in your classroom learning centers? These editable center signs can help you create clearly defined learning areas in your classroom.
Why are Center Signs Important?
Adding center signs to each center in your classroom can…
- Offer a visual representation of the center for your students
- Help your little learners quickly and easily locate the centers.
How do Center Signs Work?
I created these editable center signs with objectives to help make your teacher life easier.
Each sign has a “we are” statement followed by skills the children are learning in that particular center.
Just type in your preferred text, and then print the signs on regular copy paper or cardstock.
Next, display the signs in each center in your classroom in a vertical position so they are easily visible to both adults and children.
How Do You Display Center Signs
You can choose how you would like to display the signs in your classroom.
One way is to laminate your center signs and attach them to the walls with staples or tape.
Another idea is to place your signs in clear, plastic table tents from the office supply store.
The text printed on each sign is intended for the adults in the classroom. The “we are” statements are meant to help adults in the classroom better understand the purpose for the activities and the benefits to the children.
Benefits of Using Center Signs
As professional educators we often forget that not everybody knows and understands the value of play and the importance of using centers in the early childhood classroom.
The addition of center signs in your classroom can help educate visitors, parents, paraprofessionals, substitutes, administrators, and volunteers.

Your ideas are great. Administrators and visitors are always wanting to know what is going on in a center before they ask the student.
I love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing. I’m working on making my pre-k class a fun place to grow and learn.
Hello,
Where did you find the marker bins in your picture. I would like to do sort and label markers.
The magnetic cups in the picture are from the container store, however you can find similar magnetic cups at some dollar stores and Daiso always carries them.
Thank you! Also, I was curious can the label signs that are on those cups editable to include both english and spanish?
there’s only enough room on the labels to include one line of text, not two. sorry
Simply awesome! A great idea for when parents/caregivers the classroom. It gives them a more in-depth look at how play really is important and what their child is learning and developing during that time instead of thinking all the child does is play all day. Also good for open house when we have little stations out for the parents to interact with their child.
I love the center signs. They address the idea of how purposeful each center is to the development of the students. Great!!!
