What does a typical day at preschool look like?
A typical day at preschool begins with drop off and a morning table top or carpet activity, then whole group circle time. Next is small group learning, followed by a healthy snack, recess, then open center free play. We end the day with another quick whole group circle time, or sometimes a dance party! *This can change depending on our themes, special visitors like the fire department, and holiday celebrations.
What should I bring to preschool on a daily basis?
Please have your child bring a backpack with a complete weather appropriate change of clothes (including socks and shoes), a jacket for cooler weather as we do try to go outside as much as possible, and a water bottle. Please have your child wear closed toe shoes.
