Daily Activities
Although the schedules in the K-2yr – K-4yr classes may vary slightly, each classroom will provide for the following types of activities:
| Group Time | Short, whole class meetings where children actively participate in daily routines and activities related to the weekly theme. Activities may include singing, reading stories, movement, finger plays, dramatization, games, etc. |
| Discovery Centers | Children will rotate between various stations. They will participate in child-initiated as well as teacher-directed activities prepared around the weekly theme along with basic activities such as table manipulatives, puzzles, dramatic play, blocks, etc. |
| Outdoor Time | Appropriate socialization, turn taking, decision making and safety practices will be encouraged both on the playground and indoors in the classroom or gym. |
| Snack Time | Teachers sit with the children during this time to model, encourage, and participate in quiet conversation after a blessing is said. |
| Chapel | Once a week, students will meet in the chapel to recite the pledge, recognize birthdays, and participate in the sharing of bible stories, songs, and prayer. |
| Music & Movement | Once a week, students will meet to participate in activities that involve the use of rhythm instruments, singing, listening for appreciation, and/or movement. |
| Lunch | Teachers will sit with the children during this time to model, encourage, and participate in quiet conversation after a blessing is said. Children may bring a healthy lunch or purchase a hot lunch. |
| Nap/Rest Time | Children will have nap/rest time after lunch. |
Activities in the 6 week – 24 month class
Teachers will work with small groups and individual children to promote social, cognitive, and physical stimulation. Singing songs, listening to music and teacher-read stories, socializing with others, creative exploration of toys, snacking, and napping, if needed, will be a part of the daily routine. Teachers will work on a basic circle time to include a story-time and music activity, as well as an art activity daily. These activities will be planned around a monthly theme. Students in the 12-24 month class will participate in daily recess (either on the playground, classroom, or gym). Viewing of appropriate, engaging videos will be limited to a maximum of one approximately 30-minute video daily.
