A kindergarten class I was in yesterday had computers, two work sheet centers, and a game center. She would work with a group of children as a center also. I am not sure how I liked it. I would rather do the work sheets together as a class, but that is me.
She had a housekeeping area, but that looked more like a play area for freetime in the afternoon or indoor recess.

I started the year with 10 centers so I'd only have to change them every other week, but now I have 5: computers, puzzles/games, math, reading, spelling/phonics. I combined my listening and reading center together and writing and spelling and phonics are combined. We don't have housekeeping in first grade.

I have seven centers in my classroom. I have computers. geography, writing, leap pad, hot dots, math and SRA. I only have 3 computers in my classroom so I try to keep my groups in 2 or 3. I made several of the Take It To Your Seat Centers in Geography and Writing this summer and they are working great. Our kindergarten has housekeeping in their centers but I align mine with our TEKS.

My centers, 2 students for 25 min in each
Make and take- here they get to cut, paste and write whatever the skill of the week. For example this week is fun with fish, trophies. The children will trace and cut a fish and bubles. Inside the bubles they will write words with /sh/ Then they will paste the fish and bubles on a blue construction paper and add details to the fish, such as eyes, fin and tail.
Also, listening centers, word sorts. Writing- I write sentences from the text and they have to fill in the blanks. Another center is one where the story is summarize on sentence strips and students fill in the blanks with the sight words, (all ready made cards so that it can be used again next year) then they have to cut and paste the story in order. Depending what we are doing for that week in lang arts, such as compound words, fixing sentences, fact or fiction.
I have a great team, so we always have something good at centers.
