With the exception of special days, you may expect most classes to contain the following:

A period of free play offerings:

• creative art opportunities where focus is on the process and not the product
• opportunities for imaginative play
• science play and experiments
• water, sand and sensory play
• woodworking
• block building
• dramatic play
• cooking and creating snack

Snack: A social time for new food experiences, often creating food with our assistant teacher where the kids get to pour, stir, cook and clean up.

Group experience: Kids are to sit as a group and look at books, listen to the teacher read a story, sing songs, dance and participate in finger plays.

Outdoor activities: We try to get outside when the weather allows. Our playground encourages climbing, running, riding on toys, playing in the sand box or in the snow during the winter. It’s a great opportunity for large muscle activities and games.

Indoor gross motor activities: When we are not able to get outside, we can utilize the church’s social hall for games, dance parties, playing with balloons or the large parachute.

Lunch: Children get out their own lunch to open and eat and share conversation with the table.
