A Typical Day
What a Typical Day Looks Like

A TYPICAL DAY at the Early Education Center includes these elements:

Children arrive with their parents.
Our staff greet children as they find their friends and discover engaging activities as their parents say good-bye.

Indoor time
Children make choices where to play and learn in our indoor environment. Choices include activities designed to foster their creative thinking, develop their problem solving skills, improve their small motor development, practice pre-reading and writing skills, develop math and science concepts, as well as improve language and social interaction skills. Activity areas to choose from include centers such as dramatic play, blocks, manipulatives/math, books, musical instruments, writing center, art, science/discovery, and activities at tables (art, playdough, math materials, fingerpainting, cooking)

Clean up time
Children learn responsibility as they participate in cleaning and organizing their classroom.

Snack time
Children share snack time where social skills and conversational skills are emphasized. It's our special time to learn more about each other and the important events of children's lives.

Large group time
Children gather as a total group in circle time where they may enjoy independent book time and story time. The teacher’s enjoy using “Stories of God’s Love” to help young children take their first steps on their journey of faith. We use literature to introduce and reinforce new learning and concepts. Children also develop listening and speaking skills, and use language to share ideas and personal experiences.

Outdoor time
Children make choices where to play and learn in the planned outdoor environment. Activity areas to choose from may include sandbox, digging area, bikes, swings, slide, climber, and a variety of messy art and science experiments. On hot days, water play is our favorite!

End of the day group time
Children gather together for an end of the day activity designed to bring closure to their day. We have religion, may share a game, song, act out a story, or engage in a variety of music and movement activities.
