Children start to arrive, we greet each other and sit down to play quietly until more friends arrive.

We serve a healthy breakfast offering children at least two choices of foods to eat. We also offer a fruit and milk if over the age of 1 year old.

We do our first round of diapers and offering the potty. We have two bathrooms if needed but tend to just use the small bathroom. All diapers and potty accidents are noted in Brightwheel.

All the children get to go out side and play, other play areas may be opened up as teachers become available to supervise. Such as the classroom or playground. Free play and exploration is encouraged but emotional support and guidance is always available.

This time is spent talking about what our day will look like. What the weather is, singing a song and reading a book. We do wish wells, and sing our school family song.

There are at least three stations set up for children to explore. One is always a Steam station, one is art, and the last is always directed at inspiring the imagination. The children alternate freely through the stations or play with the other toys and games offered. Many sit and enjoy our calming corner that offers a library of books and calming sensory toys. Teacher offers bathroom and does diapers as needed during this time.

Every child who can walk and pick up helps to clean up our work area with the help of their teachers. As clean up ends children wash hands for lunch.

We offer one planned healthy meal that includes a protein, a vegetable, a grain and a fruit. We also include milk. If a child is not a fan of the meal there is always a back up plan, though we encourage them to try new things first.

We change diapers again as needed, have the children sit on the potty if they are trained or training. Children are free to go play after their bathroom needs have been met to get their energy out. Directed free play to help get their wiggles out.

We start having the kids lay down at 12:00. Most are not assleep until after 12:30. When they start to wake up we have them read quietly or snuggle a toy until everyone is up.

Each child puts their sleeping things away in their individual boxes. Then gets their bathroom needs met before snack. Ensuring hands are washed

We have a nutritious snack that is usually a grain and a fruit. Though occasionally yogurt, apple sauce or cheese is also offered.

Children get to choose to do a fun activity or play with their friends in the open play areas.

This is usually out last routine potty/diaper offered since most leave shortly after.

This is the time where kiddos get a little burnt out so we offer them a small snack and a break to relax before finishing off the day.

If there are any kiddos left we let them choose what they would like to do. Clean up should have happened as a group so we try to maintain it while having fun.
