Each hour
What happens in each part
Arrival and snack
Children hang up their backpacks at the cubbies, wash their hands and sit down to a simple snack and water.
Homework hour
A staff member sits at the tables, answers questions and makes sure each child has started. What is finished is the child's, and you will see it at home.
Activity
A gym game, the art table, the science table or a reading circle, planned for the day. On Friday children choose.
Pickup window
Free play at the front room while adults arrive, sign the sheet and say goodbye. Staff stay until the last child has gone.
