Many people ask what a class day looks like. What's the structure like, what kinds of things do we do, how much free time vs structured time do they have. Well, here's a glimpse into a typical day in the class (specific activities vary between the two programs, but the structure is the same)...
Free Play: Painting, Puzzles, Playdough, Coloring, Books, Blocks, Animals, Kitchen, Cars and Trains, Sensory Boxes, Seasonal Boxes, Dress-Up, Doll Care, and more; emphasizes social skills and interest exploration Circle Time: Singing, Weather Observation, Calendar Learning, Finger Play, Dancing, Student introduces participating helper Story Time: The teacher reads a story related to the season or theme while students practice listening skills, following directions, and comprehension Application: Involves coloring, gluing, and/or scissor skills to complete a project related to the day's story Activity: Students have an opportunity to play games that involve counting, quantifying, taking turns, and working together in small groups Snack: Students line up and find their seats, wait patiently for their classmates before eating, sing a thankfulness song (and happy birthday when applicable!), and have a snack or birthday treat together.
