A Day at Our Preschool
Though each classroom will differ to accommodate various ages, developmental levels, and individual needs, most of our preschool classrooms follow a similar structure. The most typical activities in a child’s day are outlined in the list below:
- Our teachers use the Creative Curriculum to prepare lesson plans that create meaningful and engaging activities.
- The day begins with circle time, a group gathering during which we share our ideas, plans and observations. Circle time activities are designed to stimulate children’s thinking, enrich their social skills, and expand their attention.
- Outdoor play encourages children to play with others, develop fine and gross motor skills, and get the physical activity they need. Outdoor areas include equipment like balls, playground structures, and vehicles like tricycles and push scooters that promote gross motor development.
- Independent or free play allows children to explore different interest areas. Interest areas allow children to play independently or in small groups. Interest areas allow children to make connections and provide a very effective learning experience.
