Our Day

Weekly Focus

Each day’s activities are based completely on the letter of the alphabet or holiday that we are studying that week. A typical day consists of center time, daily craft, instruction, circle time, snack, music and outdoor play. Activities incorporated to learn each new letter include singing, dancing, rhymes, storytelling, educational games and science experiments. All age groups work on the same letter or holiday theme each week to provide consistency during group time.
