We believe every moment is a learning moment but our formal preschool program runs from 8:30-1:30 M-F. During those hours we have exercise & movement, story circle, calendar circle, projects & activities, dramatic play, block play, outdoor play & free play. Most of our learning revolves around nature, the seasons, holidays and family/school life. Our teachers meet or exceed licensing requirements and are experienced in childcare and education. They also truly have a love of children!
We open at 6:30 and children come in and have breakfast if they haven't already eaten. They can then make free play choices or we set up activities.
8:30 is exercise and movement
9:00 is AM snack
9:30 is calendar circle followed by story circle and project time
10:30 is outdoor time

We usually go out again at 2:30/3:00

We have cold cereal and milk as well as toast available. We have juice and snacks available. We also have an ice cream fundraiser that anyone can participate in - all ice cream is $.75 or under.
We take the children out every day - usually twice a day. They thrive on the physical activity and fresh air!
