A cement pad is used for large motor activities, such as bicycle and tricycle riding or skating. Activities in each of these areas are incorporated into the daily schedule. Curriculum is based on the project approach which allows the children to become involved in determining the topics they study. Children begin each session with 45 minutes of free choice play in a number of centers, including the library, puzzles, house keeping, blocks, movement, and creative areas. Children and staff join together to sing songs, tell stories, play games, do fingerplays.
Children form groups of three to five to play games, read books, or experiment with arts and crafts.
Your child will learn individually while cooperating as part of a group. Snacks consist of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy natural foods. This gives the children an opportunity to work on their motor skills. They are encouraged to ride tricycles, play on the balance beam, swing, or join in group games. If weather does not allow for outside time, large motor activities will be done in the movement area downstairs.
