Daily schedule

Our daily schedule offers time for children to participate in both group activities and independent child choice activities. 

Morning Breakfast

7:30 a.m. – 8:15 a.m.

Porridge is served between 7:30 and 8:15.

Morning circle

Morning Circle is a special time to greet each other and start our day together. Activities include a quick emotional check-in with each child to gauge their emotional well-being, discussions about the weather, the day of the week, and an introduction to the day’s activities. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for children to share information, practice their listening and turn-taking skills, and participate in a large group setting.

Start of Classes

9:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

During this time, children engage in a variety of developmentally appropriate activities designed to encourage learning across all areas of development. These classes are interspersed with bathroom visits and brain breaks. (See our Curriculum for more information about our program.)

Snack time begins with handwashing, followed by children collecting their lunchboxes. Water is provided with snacks. After wards the children play on our well equipped play ground.

Nap / Rest Time
