The school day begins at 9:20 a.m. Students transition inside and join their peers on the carpet for some whole-group learning. Throughout the rest of the morning, they engage in a variety of experiences, such as free play, tabletop centres and small-group instruction with an educator. Around 11:00 a.m., we clean up and prepare for the first nutrition break.

Our middle block begins with an hour of outdoor learning. We use our outdoor classroom to sing, dance, and dramatize our favourite songs together. We also bring out toys like shovels, sand toys, hula hoops, and chalk to encourage creative and active play.
Afterward, students head inside to explore a variety of learning centres and work with educators on specific tasks such as reading, writing, and math games. Around 1:50 p.m., we tidy up and get ready for our second nutrition break.
Our final block of time together includes activities like gym, music, dance, and drama. We also spend time exploring quieter options such as books, puzzles, drawing, and journal writing.
We usually pack up a little early so we can spend the last few minutes of our day outside before heading to the front of the school for dismissal at 3:40 p.m.
