After lunch we have play time in the classroom or activity room. We generally end our afternoon with outdoor playtime. Children bring a packed lunch from home.
Afternoon Enrichment Program:
Open to children in the Green, Blue, Purple and Orange Room. Afternoon Enrichment meets Monday through Thursday from 12-3:00 pm.
The curriculum includes lunch(children bring a packed lunch from home), rest(this is a thirty-minute period when children relax on mats. A growing body needs rest, so nap/rest time is an important part of our developmentally appropriate curriculum. Those children who fall asleep will be given a longer quiet time), an activity(such as art, music, games, and stories, in addition to special projects and cooking experiences) and ending with outdoor playtime.
We are looking forward to ice skating in January and the production of a children’s play in May.
