Our sessions starts when we welcome the children and their parents. The children settle in and are encouraged to find their name tags for their cups for snack time and to identify the letter, number, shape and colour of the week. Mid-morning/afternoon, the children gather in the book area for register and story time. We finish off the session with tidy up time, followed by song time.
During the session, children have many activities to play with. We operate a 'free-flow' system where the child is free to move from activity to activity as they wish. Each activity has a prepared plan displayed with reference to the learning goals. On a daily basis these activities include:
| Painting & drawing |
Water |
| Home/Role play area |
Malleable material |
| Collage and junk sticking |
Books/jigsaws |
| Sand |
Music |
| Growing & living things |
Construction |
During our full day care, the morning and afternoon sessions are not duplicated ensuring a stimulating environment for those children staying all day. Activities are always appropriate for the mix of children therefore catering for individual needs.
We have snack time during the morning and afternoon sessions where healthy snacks and drinks are provided via a cafe style system.
