Daily schedule
Our daily schedule offers time for children to participate in both group activities and independent child choice activities.
Early Drop Off:
7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.
Children can come to school between 7:30 and 8:45am. They are welcome to bring their breakfast if they have not had a chance to eat by the time they are dropped off. The fee is $10/day regardless of time of drop-off. We recommend you reserve your spot prior to the day you need it or call before you drop-in to ensure a spot. Spots are filled on a first-come, first serve basis.
Children Arrive:
8:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
Please try to bring your child on time so that he/she is not made to feel uncomfortable by arriving after everyone else has become involved in the daily activities. We have observed that most of our children who arrive consistently late may have difficulty interacting within the classroom group.
Free-Flow in Room:
8:45 a.m. – 9:55 a.m.
A variety of developmentally appropriate activities that encourage learning in all areas of development, as well as teacher facilitated activities.
Clean up time
9:55 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
All children work together to clean up the classroom.
Group time:
10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
Group time is an opportunity for the whole class to get together in one area. Activities at this time include show and tell, music and movement, class discussions, story time, and group games. Most importantly this is a time for children to share information with others, practice listening and waiting skills, and participate in a large group.
Snack time:
10:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Parents rotate in bringing snack for the entire class. We highly encourage bringing unique foods that your child likes for the other children to try. You can also match the snack foods with the curriculum for that week (i.e. Apples for A week)
Outside Play:
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Children will enjoy time in our one of-a-kind play yard, Laird Park, complete with dry creek bed, climbing areas, gardening, and traditional playground equipment.
Group Time:
11:30 a.m. – 11:45 a.m
Group time is an opportunity for the whole class to get together in one area. Activities at this time include show and tell, music and movement, class discussions, story time, and group games. Most importantly this is a time for children to share information with others, practice listening and waiting skills, and participate in a large group.
Dismissal:
11:45 a.m.
Children gather personal items, receive handouts, and wait for pick up. Please make every effort to bring your child to school on time. Equally important is being prompt at pick-up time. If your child is not staying for an afternoon program, you can pick them up anytime between 11:30 and 11:45.
Optional Lunch Bunch
Lunch Bunch adds an additional hour at the end of each school day. Your child should bring a nutritious lunch. Lunch is outside except during inclement weather, when we will be inside. Lunch Bunch is $10 per day. Reservations are recommended
Enrichment:
11:45 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.
Our Enrichment Program can be added on to your child’s morning schedule or be a stand-alone class. Children will go to lunch bunch and should bring a nutritious lunch. After lunch bunch, they will participate in a variety of enrichment activities led by our team of teachers. The cost is $30 per day and reservations are required.
