Hi All
I was an administrator of one program, where the classrooms were painted white, but had all the primary colors as a chair rail around the room. And teachers used the names 'Blue Room', 'Yellow Room". This suggestion is somewhat limited to the number of classrooms.
In a lab school program,, the teachers went by 'Infant' "Toddlers" etc.
I like Susan's ideas. However, I would add that classroom names needed to with a different letter. This supports children's awareness of print and supports reading of the name. The Daisy Room, Butterfly Room, etc.
A truly child centered program would have the children deciding on the name of the room (perhaps voting on the names)
Hope these ideas add to what has been previously shared.

Good afternoon!
I hope all of your are going well and finding blessings to celebrate as we prepare for Thanksgiving. I work at a PK3-12th grade school and we are launching a new program in August focusing on infant-2 year olds. What fun room names do you all use for the different age groups? For example, the "Busy Bees" may be the 18 month old room and students moving into the 2 year old room become the "Colorful Caterpillars", or something like that. Just looking for some inspiration.
Thank you and be well!
