7:30-9:30am
Drop Off, Breakfast
Parents drop little ones off at their center or provider home. Children eat a nutritionally-balanced breakfast, planned by our Director of Nutrition, Janet Rose. All meals are eaten “family-style” around a table, where children can have conversations with their teachers and classmates. As the children filter in and eat their breakfast, they can participate in the activity of their choice, such as coloring pictures, playing with building blocks, or dramatic play.
9:30-12:00pm
Group and Individual Activities, Outdoor Play, Field Trips
Children follow the activity led by the classroom’s Lead Teacher. Activities are timely and engage the children in the world around them, for example: reading books about Rosa Parks during Black History Month, crafting paper hearts in February, or making bumblebees out of play dough during the summertime.
12:00-1:00pm
Lunch Time
Children enjoy a nutritionally-balanced lunch together.
