Typical Day

Center Time:: Children learn through play. During center time, children choose from a variety of activities including puzzle, playdough, manipulative, and science and math games. Children work on a daily art project linked to a number, letter, or theme, giving them the opportunity to follow directions, develop fine motor skills and creativity.

Circle Time: Circle time provides language experiences such as share time, story reading, and thoughts about the theme or letter of the day. Exploration of the seasons, weather, and the calendar, as well as music and movement are a part of circle time. Games such as bingo, memory, and matching are incorporated.

Outside Time: Every day children develop social and large motor skills while enjoying the outside play area. They play in the sandbox, climb the play structures, ride bicycles, and experience the sensory bins filled with water, beans, and rice.
