Our daily schedule offers time for children to participate in both group activities and independent child choice activities. Activities include teacher directed learning as well as learning centers where children are able to explore the classroom environment freely. Physical activity is provided using indoor and outdoor facilities. Our program is planned to be fun for the children, but in the context of a serious commitment to learning.
Morning Circle:
Morning meeting is a time to greet everyone and start our day. Activities at morning meeting include children’s jobs, pledge of allegiance, calendar, weather, introduction of new letters and numbers of the week and introduce the days activities.
Child Choice Time:
A variety of developmentally appropriate activities that encourage learning in all areas of development, as well as a teacher facilitated activity.
Clean Up Time
All children work together to clean up our class room.
Story Time:
The teacher reads a story to the class relative to the current curriculum.
Snack Time:
Our school has a nut free policy. Children begin snack with hand washing and participate in serving and clean-up. Parents are asked to provide a snack for their child. Water is served with the snack.
Quiet Time:
A short rest time (two minutes) at snack tables while listening to quiet music.
Meeting Time:
Meeting time is an opportunity for the whole class to get together in one area. Activities at this meeting include show and tell, music and movement, class discussions and group games. Most importantly this is a time for children to share information with others, practice listening and waiting skills, and participate in a large group.
Physical Activity:
Children participate in active play outdoors and in our indoor gym in cold or poor weather.
Goodbye:
Children gather personal items, receive handouts, and wait at the front door for dismissal.
Optional Lunch Bunch: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The Lunch Bunch Program is an extension of our day program and is offered twice a week on Monday and Wednesday (for the 3 Day Pre-Kindergarten Program) and on Tuesdays (for the 2 Day Preschool Program). This is an optional program of one hour from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Sign up ahead of time and bring your own nut free lunch.
This schedule is flexible and, at times, rearranged to permit field trips or special activities.
