=======================================
Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough center materials in your classroom?

Are you wondering if what you have is enough? And how do you know?

You see, setting-up and stocking your classroom centers can be very tricky.

Every good teacher knows that centers are essential for a high-quality early childhood experience.

The issue is that no one ever gives you an actual roadmap to follow when it comes to setting-up or stocking your centers. And that can leave teachers like you and me struggling to figure it out on our own.

But today's your lucky day! I'm going to share my Ultimate Center Essentials Guide with you that will lay it all out for you in a very easy-to-follow format.

So if centers are getting you down, this episode is for you!

I'm a preschool teacher in an international school in Japan and I was struggling with the same problem... I always felt like I didn't have enough materials or wasn't doing good enough to engage the students...

Your video is so helpful and I definitely learned so much.. Thank you!!

Good morning Vanessa! This is Amy from NY, the teacher who asked the questions about materials for centers! Thank you so much for answering my questions. It was really a surprise to hear my name in this video podcast! I will definitely replay your video many times to really understand what you have suggested. I am in a private school so unfortunately, I cannot request Donors Choose. However, I definitely think I will give your ideas a try in requesting materials for the next school year. The school I work in is run by directors and the owner visits occasionally but has little if any interaction with staff. All I can do is try to suggest more materials. Thanks so much again! Have a great day!
