So that you can get a sense of what goes on in preschool each day, we have a general outline posted here. However, please note that some variations occur due to which class the child is in and if any special events are planned for that day, etc. Arrival: Children are greeted by the teacher and nametags are pinned on. Parents sign their child in (and out) every day. Circle time: Circle time is when the children, teacher and parent helpers gather together for songs, fingerplays, sharing, news of the day, stories, group games, etc.
Snack: Families provide nutritious snacks for their child's classroom about 5-7 times per year. Snack time is a fun time for social interaction and nourishment. Small Group Time: An adult meets with a small group of children to engage in a fairly structured activity planned by the teacher. The activities vary based on the maturity of the age group. Some three year old classes do not have small group.
Each teacher publishes a monthly calendar so that parents know what the themes are for each week, as well as who is expected to bring snack to school each day, etc. May 2010 |

Work Time/Center Time:
Different centers are set up at the tables and around the room,
some focusing on the theme for the day, some creative art projects,
some evoking manipulative skills. Some of the regular centers
are the dramatic play "house" area, book corner, blocks,
sensory/water table, easel painting. Children flow from center
to center as their interests dictate.
Outside Play: Scheduled
playground time for about 20-30 minutes.
