What is a Typical Day?

The preschool curriculum is designed to provide a full range of activities that are developmentally appropriate, creative and fun.

• Free play - during the first hour of class children have “free play” time. Sensory tables with interesting materials are set up, along with a water play table, paint, playdough, and art and science projects. Children may choose to read books in a loft, dress up in costumes, play in a kitchen or engage in various other cooperative and dramatic play options.


• Circle time - Children sit together with the teacher to hear stories and learn songs, finger plays and movement games. Sharing days are also part of circle time, where each child brings a favorite item from home to show to his or her classmates.


• Concept time - the teacher presents a focused topic in such areas as science or nature.


• Outside Play - children use large motor skills for climbing, sliding, swinging, and playing in the sandbox . During inclement weather, an indoor play area is provided with balls, riding toys, basketball and bowling toys.
