Most early childhood programs always seem to have bright classrooms filled with color. If you want some quality, super affordable classroom decor that not only brightens your room but teaches a valuable concept at the same time, keep on reading!

My Classroom

I love that at our new home I have an entire room to devote to daycare. A separate space allows me to be creative and expressive with my teaching and decor Plus, I get to keep the rest of my home reserved for our family and friends.

This is a huge difference from classroom decor hanging all over the house. We also always used our dining room table (keep in mind we had no eat-in kitchen) for both daycare and family dinners. I am LOVING the separate space (pictures to come soon)!

I chose to keep the paint color in the daycare room neutral and I’m so glad I did. The color flows well with the rest of the house. Posters and toy bins provide that pop of color I love.

A few of my posters I bought from Dollar Tree, and I recently purchased some number charts from TpT, as well.

However, I really wanted something to help my students with their colors, too. I envisioned something large enough everyone could see during Circle Time.

Hanging My Posters

First thing’s first: gotta get that printer going! This was the hardest part for me – I ran out of ink and had to wait on my Amazon Prime to get me more before I could finish my project!

→ Update: Now I have found HP Instant Ink, which saves me over $200/year in ink!
