Basic Routine

An outlook of a typical day: 

Arrival (8am on) - Colouring/Playdough
9.30 am - Snack/Stories/Free Play
10.00 am - Nap time for younger ones/Quiet Games for olders
10.15 am - Outdoor Play - weather permitting
11.00 am - Music/Dance/Singing/Dress Up
11.30 am - Lunch Time (See meal plans) 
12.00 - 2.00 pm - Nap time for older kids/Quiet Games for olders
2.00 pm - Craft Time/Go for a walk/Park/Trails/Play Ground etc.
2.30 pm - Snack and Story Time/Free Play
3.00 pm - Nap Time (second) for younger ones
4.00 pm - Puzzles and Games

Naps vary according to age and need.


I try to incorportate a wide range of activities, ranging from quiet sit down activities to ones designed to get kids up and moving as to create a well balanced day that children will not bore of quickly. I also plan to take full advantage of the summer weather by incorporating lots of fun activities outside (hats and sunscreen always on!!).


Children are encouraged to bring their own games, toys, and activities they would like to use during the day. I can label any toys brought in to eliminate any confusion. 

At times some activities may change and others will be brought in as replacements depending on weather and behaviour each day.
