๐ฟ A Day in the Life at Willows! ๐ฟ
Ever wonder what a typical day looks like for our littles here? ๐ While every room has its own routine - our days are filled with opportunities to play, explore, learn, and grow!
๐ณ Breakfast โ We start our morning with a nutritious breakfast and time to connect with friends and teachers.
๐งธ Free Play & Learning Centers โ Children explore, create, build, pretend, and use their imaginations while developing fine and gross motor skills through everyday play.
๐ฝ Care Routines โ Throughout the day, we make time for potty breaks, diapering, handwashing, and other personal care needs.
๐ Circle Time โ Stories, songs, conversations, learning, and opportunities to participate together.
๐จ Process Art โ Children have opportunities to explore different materials and create without a set โrightโ or โwrongโ way.
๐ซง Sensory Play โ Both wet and dry sensory experiences give children opportunities to touch, scoop, pour, squish, explore textures, and discover how things work.
๐ถ Music & Movement โ Singing, dancing, instruments, and plenty of opportunities to get our bodies moving!
๐AM & PM Snack Times โ A little fuel to keep those busy bodies going.
๐ค๏ธ Outdoor Play โ Fresh air, big movements, exploration, and plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors all day long. We are blessed to have lots of room to soak in all the nature around us!
๐ฅช Lunch โ We enjoy our meal together while practicing important mealtime and social skills.
๐ด Nap & Rest Time โ A quiet time to rest, recharge, and prepare for the afternoon.
โจ But hereโs the important partโฆ
Our days are play-based and child-led. We follow the children's interests and use those interests to guide our learning experiences. Whether they are fascinated by bugs, trucks, music, art, books, or simply building with blocks, we look for ways to turn their curiosity into meaningful learning!
๐ Our daily schedule is a guide and is subject to change in each classroom based on the children's ages, needs, interests, and individual routines. No two days look exactly the sameโand that's part of the fun!
At Willows, play is learning, curiosity is encouraged, and every moment is an opportunity to grow. ๐ฟ
