Why Space Is So Important in Early Childhood Education
Having a functional and inspiring workspace is very important in every stage of your child’s education, but particularly during the early years. Among the benefits of having a comfortable environment for learning an important one is that it promotes collaboration and discussion and keeps the kids more engaged and motivated.
The learning environment where your child spends their homeschool journey plays a crucial role in their education as research shows that “children create meaning and play within and outside of pedagogically staged spaces.”
For children, the space is both their learning environment and their playground. A smart use of the available space at home should balance these two elements.
Things To Consider When Setting Up Your Homeschool Space
While setting up your kindergarten homeschool classroom, consider the following elements to help plan your space:
- The safety of the area
- That it’s attractive for 5-year-olds
- That it’s a functional space for various activities
A child-centered space will allow your child to “manipulate their environment and take control of their own learning” and inspire them to enjoy learning.
11 Inspiring Kindergarten Homeschool Classroom Ideas
I’ve put together the following list of amazing preschool classroom ideas with pictures included to help spark your homeschool room inspiration!
1. Large Table and Lots of Storage Space
This colorful room is fun but not overwhelming. It feels like a working area thanks to that large table, but the nearby toy kitchen suggests to kids that it’s also a playing space.
And the best part? The huge storage space! That allows for a lot of different materials and resources to keep at hand for a diversity of projects and activities.
2. Budget Friendly Preschool Room
I find this space attractive for young kids. Not only is it functional, but also relaxed. The colorful posters and other materials are available and easy-to-grab for your little one, while the gorgeous mini-blackboard from IKEA is irresistible for kindergarten children to draw all over!
This small and simple design is attractive and easy to set up. In fact, you can get most of the materials required for this setup at very affordable prices at Target Dollar Spot (non-affiliate link).

3. Read in a Box
When it comes to DIY decorating ideas for your homeschool classroom, I think the “Book Boats” have to be one of the most creative ones ever!
It makes no difference if you have one, two, or three young children—they will all love to have their own box to read. This is where that idea of how children blend their learning and playing environments into one comes to life.
4. Blackboard / Folding Table for Two
This is a great idea for a couple of siblings living their homeschool kindergarten experience together.
The blackboard allows them to draw and explore their creativity, while the folding table gives them the needed space to engage in longer projects that require their full attention.
The space saved with that folding table is a bonus, just like the storage area available once you unfold it.
5. A Montessori Environment at Home
The Montessori Method revolutionized education in many ways with its child-focused approach and distinctive classrooms.
Here, you have an opportunity to create your own Montessori space at home. This is a real homeschool classroom space, where most of the furniture was built by the family itself. So, in a way, you could call it a DIY Montessori classroom.
What strikes me is the amount of sensorial material available in such a small space. You have lots of paint and gel balls at hand, obviously you have that huge Kraft paper roll, and plenty of storage space all around.
As a child, that’s a space I would have loved to work and experiment in!
6. An Art Table for Two
Again, for two siblings, this is a fabulous art table that opens lots of possibilities.
Children will be drawn to it, due to its attractiveness and the large working area it provides. I love the idea of both kids working on the same paper at the same time.
An added benefit is that the table is mobile, as you can easily move it to one corner and still enjoy your living room. The storage space that it provides is also a pro, as it is that colorful rug to keep your floor safe from spills.
7. A Table to Work on the Floor
I find this idea brilliant! Kindergarten kids love to throw themselves to the floor and play and explore without the need for any chairs. So, why not take advantage of this love for the floor?
Nevertheless, a precondition for these tables has to be getting a large, comfortable, and warm rug like the one in the picture, or simply setting up your homeschool classroom in a room with a full carpet.
The drawers in the background are also very cool and can be used to store either toys or learning resources.
8. A Corner With a Bit of Everything
Look at this space carefully. It’s just a room’s corner, but one that’s made the most of the available space.
In just 3 to 4 square meters you have a functional table, a fun rug, and lots of storage space. I can see a child jumping from the table to the rug and jumping from one drawer to the next one in search of a new toy or manipulative material.
It’s just a normal room smartly re-designed to do homeschooling without completely changing the look of the space.
9. Get Your Own Kindergarten at Home
If you’ve got a larger area to use, this is an amazing idea for your kindergarten homeschool environment.
You have the Montessori-like table with Kraft paper roll included, a normal working table in the middle, a reading area in the back by the tree with sofa and rug included, and a storage area to the right. All of it in green tones and a nature theme that makes it feel like a jungle.
Perfect for preschool kids!
10. Small but Attractive Corner
If you don’t have a lot of space at home, this is a nice classroom setup that makes the most of a small corner of the house.
The table is small but functional and can even be used for two kids at the same time. There are books at hand and a couple of stimulating toys.
Although I like the idea of the alphabet in the wall, I think that wall could be better used by adding some shelves for materials such as pencils, paint, and paintbrushes.
Finally, the nearby rug is a smart addition where your child would definitely end up doing hands-on projects and playing around with educational toys.
11. A Clear Safe Space
When it comes to safety, this is a quintessentially safe homeschool classroom for preschool children.
The visuals in the corner at a child’s height allow them to manipulate the materials there with ease. The bookshelves to the right are fastened to the wall and also let the child get the books they want without having to climb anything or get a stool.
Create an Inspiring Kindergarten Homeschool Classroom for Your Child
I hope these 11 kindergarten homeschool classroom ideas have inspired you to create a fun and awesome learning environment for your child at home. Remember to consider both safety and functionality, and involve your child in the whole process of setting up the space—that way they will make it their own space and feel more motivated to learn in there!

“It’s a great way to learn Spanish, from native Spanish speakers in a 1-on-1 environment. It’s been fairly easy to schedule classes around my daughter’s other classes. The best value for us has been ordering multiple classes at a time. All the instructors have been great!”
