Our Day
The daily schedule is child-led with an overall structure of:
8:00 Early drop off
9:00 Drop Off : Children arrive, greet each other, parents have time to chat with staff. We say goodbye to parents around 9:15 and shift into our daily rhythm.
9:30 Morning Meeting : Coming together as a group, welcoming the day, and having a snack
10:00 Morning Block : Our largest block of self-directed time with rotating options of enrichment/free play/emergent projects/outdoor play
Noon-ish Lunch : Children are free to eat when they are hungry, usually dining in small groups, reflecting over our morning block discoveries and achievements and listening to stories
12:00 Pick up for half day kiddos.
12:30 Afternoon Block : Rest time for our littlest members.
For the older kids quiet time is often independent work followed by small group activities
2:30 Clean Up : Coming together to clean our space, have a snack and reflect on our day as a group and say our goodbyes
3:00 Pick Up or stay for extended day until 4:00 or 5:00.
