Classroom cubbies are storage units often utilized in preschool and early childhood classrooms. They act similarly to a locker, which stores and keeps personal items safe during the school day. Preschool cubbies are designed so that younger students can easily access them. They do not have doors, which makes it easy to see what is in each section. Teachers can also utilize cubbies to store toys and supplies. Classroom cubbies create a sense of belonging for students, as they usually have their own designated cubbyhole. They also help establish routines and responsibility for the children. Preschool cubbies are a must for early childhood teachers to create a functional and organized classroom.

Which Cubbies are the Right Fit for Your Classroom?
All of the classroom cubbies that we carry at Today’s Classroom are designed with young learners in mind. They are easy to access and can be purchased with additional storage trays or baskets, making them a top pick amongst educators. When choosing which cubbies are a good choice for you, consider the following:
- Purpose - Think about what the cubbies are going to be used for. As a drop-off area for students' belongings, we recommend cubbies with hooks. As a storage unit to keep toys and other items organized, we suggest cubbies with trays or baskets.
- Class Size - For larger classes, we suggest purchasing double-sided cubbies to ensure that everyone in the class has their own cubby. It also frees up space in the classroom, giving teachers more space to work with. The double-sided cubbies can also be used for toy storage and can easily split up play areas within the classroom.
