Walk Around Neighbourhood, 2018
|
Our ProgramOffering a family-centered program is April Daycare's honor, meeting families needs and requests.
Scheduling the lesson plans and indoor and outdoor activities is based on every single child's needs, interest and parents' requests for behavior or skill improvement. Our routine has been listed below, however, as parents are familiar with children's world, the scheduled times provided below are just estimations of our activities since every single moment demands creation of new opportunity for children to learn and interact with their surrounding. Plus the fact that we need to go with children's mood, tiredness and desire. Plan of Day Monday...Music-Dance-Song Practice-Movement Tuesday...Show&Tell/Sharing Stories and/Toys Wednesday...Walk Around Neighbourhood Thursday...Lab Experience* Friday...Relax-Seek Stillness *In our lab time, through hands-on experience together we wonder, we play, we learn, and thrive. The environment provides children with ample opportunities to discover and explore the unknown for themselves, to watch closely, to hold their breath in wonder for a second (metaphorically speaking) and go closer, and touch, see, smell, hear and trust themselves and their senses. In our experiencing lab, the foundation of MindUp program goes hand in hand with children’s curiosity and imagination, to unlock their engagement in different activities and enhancement of their skills at all levels-social and emotional competencies, literacies, and so forth. Schedule of Day Free play: Early morning, 2 pm, 3:30 pm Different centres and a variety of activities chosen by children as follows: - dramatic play- kids' most favorite time - literacy practice by self-served reading and writing materials - building blocks - sensory table based on season, curriculum and children's requests Clean up: 8:15, 8:55, 9:15, 9:40, 10:40, 11:25, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30 pm - Potty time/Diaper change - Hand washing |
