DAILY ROUTINE
We run a play-based program, which means that the children are given the freedom to choose activities that interest them for much of the day. This includes unlimited access to all of the toys and games, the outdoor play area (weather permitting), the art supplies, etc. The only times that are set are the times the children eat and sleep (infants are on their own sleeping and eating schedules). We do learning activities and art projects throughout the day and we encourage all of the children to participate, but the children are not forced to participate.
Schedule:
We also take regular trips to the park or other outings in the morning and are back home by lunchtime, or we pack a lunch and are home by nap time.
