A Typical Preschool Day
We always start our day inside, with open centers, so that your child can choose what they would like to start with. This also allows your child to ease into a social setting feeling relaxed and confident upon arrival. It is also very important for your child to arrive on time and to be picked up on time.
Centre Time
An Open Environment for Children to Learn & Grow
Children choose freely among activities in the fine motor rooms and in the gross motor rooms. These include manipulative activities, puzzles, building materials, paint, scissors, paper, glue, play-dough, art projects, dress up, housekeeping and dramatic play. (There are both open ended activities and self correcting activities.)
During open centres, the teachers assist with the children’s choices and where necessary will help the children expand on their ideas and interests.
Daily Activities
Little Miracles is 100% nut-free and all children have the opportunity to attend an environment that is inclusive to all needs. The children bring their own water bottles and healthy food, from the healthy food guide groups, to enjoy this time of sitting and socializing with their pre-school friends.
Circle time includes stories, discussions of themes, calendar, weather and games. This is also a time of sharing stories and ideas. Finger plays, songs, action songs, music and musical instruments are also enjoyed. A wide variety of books is always available. During circle time, children learn patience and turn-taking as they build their knowledge of subjects.
Children make art projects, reflecting the current theme and the daily topic. This helps the children understand how to follow instructions and directions and also strengthens and develops their fine motor skills.
All children are instructed on how to use the art tools properly and how to enjoy the process of the art project, as well as how to achieve the goal. Children are shown and encouraged to set up their art projects as well as clean up after themselves when they are finished.
The school program provides time during each class to help with the development of large muscles within an organized environment. The areas that are used for these activities are our outdoor playground area and our gross motor areas.
Activities will include: dancing, marching, climbing, running, tumbling, jumping, rolling, digging etc.
In our gross motor rooms, children are able to build with building activities, role play in our housekeeping areas and dress up in our dress up area. The children are able to freely engage in creative play during their gross motor time and are encouraged to do their share of the clean up when gross motor time ends.
