A Typical Day

Circle Time & Calendar

Children sit as a group to discuss monthly highlights, listen to stories, and introduce color, shape, letter, and number concepts. The calendar is reviewed to reinforce math concepts. During circle time, children practice appropriate listening and speaking skills.


Read-Aloud, Phonics, and Handwriting

Children develop early literacy skills through listening to books read aloud, phonics instruction, and handwriting practice. These skills and activities incorporate oral language development, print awareness, phonological awareness, and alphabetic principle.


Centers & Small Groups with Teacher

Exploration in centers includes sensory play, block building, process art, home living, science, and manipulative exploration. All toys provide gross and fine motor development and are rotated on a regular basis. Children are provided age-appropriate opportunities to enhance their social-emotional and motor skills. Teachers engage one-on-one with children to grow literacy and math skills.  


Recess

Gross motor time in the gym or on the outdoor playground. During this time, children enjoy playing and interacting with one another and teachers. 


Lunch

Children eat together with lunch provided from home. We encourage conversation and good table manners.


Math

Children use multiple strategies and hands-on learning activities to grow their understanding of number sense, graphing, measurement, patterning, shapes, and sorting.


Dismissal

Parents pick up outside the Welcome Center via car line.
