This is an idea of what we do during the day. This is a typical day–but it is not set in stone.
6:30-8:00 Children arriving and breakfast being served.
8:00-11:30 Free play, outside play, puzzles, ABC’s, learning games, songs and dance.
11:30-12:00 Lunch preparation time/ hand washing, clean up time.
12:00—12:30 Lunch Time
12:30– 2:45 Quiet time. All children will be expected to rest at naptime. Age appropriate children will lay quietly and watch a movie.
2:45 Wake up time, hand washing.
3:15—3:30 Snack time
3:30-5:30 Free play, large muscle play, flannel stories. Close to closing, wind down time. Pick-up.
Meals
Breakfast is served until 8:00 a.m. Please have your child here by that time if you want them to eat breakfast here. If your child arrives after 8:00, I will have expected them to eat at home. Lunch is served at 12:00 p.m. and I serve a p.m. snack at 3:30p.m. I believe mealtime should be a pleasant time; therefore, children are always offered food but are not forced to eat it. Children, who choose not to eat, will not be served food until the next meal or snack.
Naptime
All children are to lie down for a rest period in the afternoon. Even older children will benefit from a short period of “Quiet Time”. Naptime is my only opportunity to take a break, clean up after lunch, do paperwork, fill out daily notes and do activity planning. If you child has a special blanket or stuffed animal that he/she sleeps with, please send it along. I would ask that you please avoid picking up your child during naptime. Please come before 12:30 or after naptime around 3:00, or let me know during drop off.
