Sample Daily Schedule (Pre-K)

Morning

7:30 am - 8:30 am  |  Supervised childcare
Upon arrival, the classroom is open and children have free choice time to play with anything they would like to.  Then we all clean up and read a story together at circle. 

8:30 am - 9:00 am  | Recess
Next is recess time for about 30 minutes. All children are outside for recess (weather permitting) or downstairs in the gym.

9:00 am  | School Starts, Circle Time
Class starts once the children have washed their hands and all sit down at circle.  We pick jobs, there is usually a story, and then the teacher introduces the projects/tabletops and children get to pick which project they want to do first.  After an ample amount of time it’s time to clean up and go back to circle where there is another story or book on CD until morning snack is ready. 

9:40 am - 10:00 am  | Snack
The children once again wash hands and sit to enjoy a school-provided fruit/vegetable and bread/carbohydrate as well as water.  


10:00am - 11:00 am | Play Time, Center Time
Once everyone is done, the room is open and children choose what to play with.  Finally it is clean-up time and recess outside until lunch.  

At lunch, the children and teachers sit together for 30 minutes, enjoying their lunch brought from home and conversation.  Then it is outside for 35 – 40 minutes.
