"Free Play begins the day. The children play independently and in spontaneously formed groups as they choose from different learning centers of developmentally appropriate materials and toys, such as playdough, puzzles, dressup, puppets, and a wide assortment of building blocks. Daily arts and crafts activities promote fine motor skills and encourage creativity.
Circle Time is when the teachers introduce weekly themes and the day's events. Discussions on weather, the calendar, and the World-Around-Us introduce children to math, science, and letters. The children sing songs, listen to stories, and share their experiences.
Large motor play is outside, weather permitting, where the children run, jump, ride bikes and play in the sand. When inside, they play in our indoor play area with slides, bikes, and balls.
Snack Time – more than just eating – is a social time. The children are encouraged to set up and clean up their own snacks.
