Morning meeting: We start each day with a morning meeting, which sets the tone for another exciting day. It lets the children know what the plan of the day is. A morning meeting provides a space for children to share their thoughts and feelings, connect with each other through music and movement, and participate in various academic activities.
Free Play: children move to the different classroom centers, which include art (various media), block play, table toys, dramatic play, sensory tables, etc.
Circle Time: introduction to the weekly theme with follow-up activities. (Kindergarten readiness activities for 4’s) Themes are designed to introduce new concepts and skills while fostering literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
Art….relating to a theme which promotes creativity and self-expression
Clean-up: time (children actively participate in clean-up.)
Music/movement
Storytime: (usually related to theme)

Staff can communicate with you, and share news, different classroom events, updates, and photos throughout the school year.
