Each age group follows a daily schedule outlining active and quiet play, indoor activities, centered (free play) and teacher directed (circle) activities; as well as care routines (eating, sleeping, toileting etc.) The care routines are also times to teach children about health, nutrition, safety and security.
Flexibility in schedules is expected, especially to allow for spontaneous activities. A copy of the schedules is below and is also posted in each class room.
