Before School Care Program: For the duration of the program, students will enjoy a structured playing environment where they will be safely monitored by a member of our staff. They will also help to organize the day’s lesson, set up the classroom, and do work from any previous lesson. This program is available for an additional cost
Play Time: A child who lives in an environment for up to ten and a half hours a day needs the opportunities both to work and to play. Structured play time enables the students to exercise creativity and enjoy themselves outside of a more rigorous working schedule.
Circle Time: The class will meet in a circle and the teacher will introduce that day’s lesson plan and her expectations of the students' behavior.
Work Time: This time is spent listening to the teacher's lesson and completing the work from that lesson. The exact activities during this time will change depending on the lesson and can vary from whole class participation and discussion to group work and individual work.
Story Time: This time is spent listening to the teacher read a story and then taking turns reading it to enhance their language and imagination and increase their confidence in speaking.
Lunch Time: The students eat their home-made lunches and enjoy a break from working.
Recess/Outside Play Time: A well-rounded healthy student needs exercise. Outside play time enables the student to enjoy an unstructured and fun release of energy that will help him or her to focus during work time.
Nap Time: The students use this time to calm down after playing. It provides a well-needed rest, as well as re-energizes and focuses them for the afternoon work cycle.
