Glimpse of our Daily schedule

Our daily schedule provide opportunities for children to participate in both group activities and independent child choice activities.

Morning circle:

9:00 a.m.

Morning circle is a special time to welcome everyone and begin our day on a positive note. During our morning circle, we engage in activities such as discussing theme-related topics, reviewing the calendar and weather, introducing new letters and numbers of the week, and going over the day’s planned activities.

Freeplay time:

7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. / 2.30 p.m. – 3.15 p.m.

A variety of age and developmentally appropriate activities are provided to support learning across all areas of competencies. The environment is thoughtfully designed to serve as a third teacher, enriching the learning experience.

Clean up time

9:25 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
All children work together to clean up our class room.

Story time:

12:00 p.m. – 12:15 p.m.

The teacher engages the children with a story that ties into the curriculum, enhancing language and comprehension.

Snack time:

8:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. / 3.30 p.m. 4.00 p.m.

Our center follows a strict nut-free policy. Snack time begins with hand washing, and children actively participate in serving and clean-up. Each snack includes at least three nutrients in accordance with Canada’s Food Guide, and water is always provided.

Quiet time:

11:50 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

During lunch, children have a brief two-minute rest at the tables before having their lunch.

Morning circle:

12:30 p.m. – 12:45 p.m.
Meeting time is an opportunity for the whole class to get together in one area. Activities at this meeting include show and tell, music and movement, class discussions and group games. Most importantly this is a time for children to share information with others, practice listening and waiting skills, and participate in a large group.

Physical activity:

9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. / 4.30 p.m. – 5.30 p.m.

Children engage in active play both outdoors and indoors, regardless of the weather.

Home time:

5:30 p.m.

Optional lunch bunch

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
The Lunch Bunch Program is an extension of our day program and is offered twice a week on Monday and Friday (for the 3 Day Pre-Kindergarten Program) and on Tuesdays (for the 2 Day Preschool Program). This is an optional program of one hour from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. for an additional fee of $10.00 for the hour. Sign up ahead of time and bring your own peanut free lunch.
