The day is planned to provide the child
with a variety of learning experiences
appropriate to his or her developmental
level and needs. Each day is structured to create
a balance between individually chosen and group
activities. Thus, there are times during the day
when the children are free to choose from a
variety of activities and materials available in the
classroom. These include block play, art, dramatic
play, water and sand play, manipulative materials,
and library. Children engage in these activities on
their own or in small groups. Large group activities
such as music, movement, and story reading are
also a part of each child’s day, along with activity
in the indoor gym or an outdoor program.
Neighborhood walks and bus trips are arranged
with themes of interest for each class. Most classes
bring lunch from home and full-day children relax
to music, or nap before an afternoon of classroom
activity, indoor gym or outdoor play.
An Early Bird program from 8:00 to 9:00 and an
Extended Day program from 3:00 to 6:00 are
available to meet the needs of parents’ schedules.
