If weather and outdoor conditions permit, we will beoutside twice a day. In addition, walking trips, which give children opportunities to observe and learn about their community, are an integral part of the program. The children have the opportunity to interact with Plymouth State College students who plan developmentally appropriate and meaningful activities. Teachers work closely with parents and share ideas for activities at home and in the community. Children bring their own lunch.
Milk is provided.
No child may stay at the Center longer than nine hours per day. Each day the children are given many opportunities to see how language, reading, and writing are all parts of communication. Children engage daily in activities focusing on language and literacy through meaningful experiences such as listening to and reading stories and poems, experimenting with reading and writing and participating in dramatic play. If weather and outdoor conditions permit, we will be outside twice each day. Children are encouraged to problem-solve with math concepts, to ask questions, and to be involved in scientific inquiry and discovery.
