Wondering what the little ones are up to all day? Here's what a day in the life of our Little Leapers might look like:
8:30 - 9:45 Arrivals & Small Group Activities
The children are welcomed into school and offered a few pre-selected small group activities, or playing in a self-selected area.
9:45 - 10:15 Circle Time, Work Time
Circle time is a fun class gathering in which we connect with the children through music, stories, class discussion about our themed learning. This is typically followed by fun "work" for the kids.
10:15 - 11:30 Outdoor Play, Yoga, Playball
Featuring a large outdoor space for the children, Little Leaps & Bounds enjoys all the benefits of an "outdoor classroom" - we've taken all the activities outside!
We are fortunate to have specialty teachers to facilitate a well-rounded learning experience: Jamarookids for children's yoga & Playball provides an exciting introduction to sports.
11:30 - 12:00 Lunch and Nap/Quiet Time Preparations
The kids gather to eat their lunches at their tables family-style so the children can eat as they might with their family. Lunch is followed by a time for relaxation with dimmed lighting and softly-playing lullabies.
12:00 - 2:00 Nap Time
2:00 - 2:30 Snack
Waking from nap, the children are welcomed with a snack and quiet activities as their friends join them. Small group activities or outdoor play occurs until families arrive to pick up their little ones.
2:30 - 4:00 Self-Selected Play, Departures
Tummies full and rested, the kids take this opportunity to select their own favorite activities. The kids prepare for pickup with diaper-changes/bathroom breaks and gathering projects completed during the day, If it is a sunny day, we might spend more time outdoors - our favorite place to be!
