Daily Routine
8:30-10:00
Kids arrive. This is free play time. Home made play dough is out on tables with puzzles and manipulatives. Art is set up and available for all. Stories are read. Bubbles and bike riding are on the upstairs deck.
One day a week at 9:30-10:00 our music enrichment teacher comes and we sing, dance, and do movement.
10:00-10:30
Snack and story time. We read and sing and discuss anything important that is going on. We provide a large, healthy snack which sometimes is made by the children themselves. We also do puppets and finger plays at this time. This is our "circle time"
10:30-Noon
After we change diapers and children who are potty trained use the bathroom, we go outside in a large, fenced in yard with built in swings, sandbox, bikes, slides and climbing structures, water play and lots of balls! We sometimes opt out of the yard and go on long nature walks around the neighborhood.
12:00-12:30
We eat lunch which is provided by each child's family. We put all lunches on plastic plates and continue to read and sing while eating.
12:30-1:30
We start to pack up lunches, put shoes back on, change diapers, and wind down with more books, music, dancing, and playing.
