Ever wondered what happens behind our colorful doors? Here's a glimpse into a typical day at Little Playhouse, where every moment is an opportunity for growth and discovery.
7:30 AM - Welcome Time
As children arrive, they're greeted warmly by their teachers. This transition time includes free play where children can choose activities that interest them – building with blocks, browsing picture books, or chatting with friends. It's a gentle way to ease into the school day.
8:30 AM - Morning Circle
We gather together for morning circle, where we sing songs, talk about the day ahead, discuss the weather, and share news. This builds community and helps children develop speaking and listening skills.
9:00 AM - Learning Centers
Children rotate through various learning centers designed to develop different skills. These might include:
• Art corner for creative expression
• Building area for spatial and engineering concepts
• Reading nook for literacy development
• Sensory table for scientific exploration
• Dramatic play area for social development
10:00 AM - Snack Time
We pause for a healthy snack, teaching children about nutrition and table manners. This is also valuable time for social conversation with friends.
10:30 AM - Outdoor Play
Rain or shine, outdoor time is essential! Children develop gross motor skills, experience nature, and burn off energy through running, climbing, and imaginative outdoor play.
11:15 AM - Structured Learning
This time is dedicated to more focused activities – perhaps a science experiment, music lesson, or story time with comprehension activities. Our dual curriculum integrates both local and international approaches.
12:00 PM - Lunch
A nutritious lunch is served, and children practice independence by serving themselves and cleaning up afterward.
12:45 PM - Rest Time
Young bodies and minds need rest. Our quiet time includes options for nappers and non-nappers, with calm activities like puzzles or reading for those who don't sleep.
2:30 PM - Afternoon Activities
Refreshed from rest, children engage in additional learning activities, enrichment programs, or extended play time based on interests.
4:00 PM - Goodbye Circle
We end the day reflecting on what we learned and experienced, preparing children for a smooth transition home with their families.
Every day is unique, but always filled with laughter, learning, and love!
