Printable Classroom Labels for Preschool

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Do you label the items on the shelves in your classroom centers? Labeling the tools and materials in your learning centers is an important part of a high-quality early childhood program.

When you place a label on each end of each tub and on the shelf, you’re setting both your students and yourself up for success.

But creating labels for your classroom can be a lot of extra work, which is why I created a set of editable classroom labels for you.

Labels with pictures help create a meaningful, print-rich learning environment for your little learners. When you take the time to label each tub in your classroom centers, your students will begin to make the connection between the written and spoken word more quickly.

There are other benefits of labeling everything in your classroom centers. When materials placed on the shelves are clearly labeled they are easily accessible to your students, which allows them to be more productive and increases student engagement.

Clearly labeled shelves and tubs will also help reduce your students’ frustration levels and save them time searching for materials.

Center Tub Labels

Placing a label on things provides young children with a visual that helps them learn where each item belongs. If you label everything in your preschool classroom, it will make clean-up time go so much more smoothly!

Please read the product description carefully so you will know exactly what this document can, and can’t do.

Adhesive Label Pockets for Center Tubs
To attach the labels to the bins in your centers, I love using the sticky back label pockets from Target.

These pockets make it super easy to change out the pictures on the tubs in your classroom centers. Just slide the pictures out of the pocket and replace them with another whenever you want to change them up – easy peasy!

Printable Center Labels
Now you have a neatly labeled classroom that you can change up quickly and easily whenever necessary!
