Daily Activities
Daily activities are posted on a large bulletin board in each classroom. There is also a message board in each classroom where teachers can leave notes about the day's activities and where parents can leave notes for the teachers.
Our daily activities consist of:
-
Small group play/project times where children choose which activity (art projects, blocks, playhouse, puzzles, etc.) they will participate in.
-
Large group meetings — including stories, discussions of the daily plans, puppets, songs — followed by small group activities based on curricular plans lead by teachers.
-
Outside play time (preceded by hand washing, diapering and toileting).
-
Lunch and two snack times (preceded by hand washing, diapering and toileting).
-
Pre-nap activities — toileting, stories, reading, listening to records or tapes.
-
All children sleep or rest on their cots during nap time (approximately one hour, unless parents specify other arrangements).
