| Below is an example of our WINTER daycare schedule. SUMMER is a time for the great outdoors, and we try to make the most of it. We still cover all our basic learning, but times will vary to allow for plenty of outdoor time. During hot weather, we try to 'beat the heat' by going outside immediately after breakfast, and have water fun activities in the afternoons. Scheduling is subject to change depending on the children I have in child care. For example, for older children, we may do PEOPLE of HISTORY rather than a COMMUNITY HELPER, or learn to TELL TIME rather than work on a number. Our schedule changes to accommodate the children enrolled This is an example of our Preschool winter schedule. Because of short attention spans, times may vary. If the children become restless, we allow for more free time or outside play, then come back to our planned activities and lessons. MONTHLY: COMMUNITY HELPER WEEKLY: THEME, VOCABULARY WORD, LETTER, NUMBER, COLOR, SHAPE, and MORE! |
