Daily Schedule

We will plan activities according to the age and developmental level of each child in care and provide children with a variety of experiences and that are based around the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards. The daily activities include a flexible balance of indoor and outdoor activities, active and quiet play, and individual and group activities. The activities provided will expose the children to a variety of cultures and will encourage the children to use and develop language and literacy skills, use large and small muscles, think creatively, learn new ideas and skills, and participate in imaginative play. The activities are designed to provide protection from excess fatigue and overstimulation and to ensure that each child can be successful and feel good about himself or herself. Some of the activities include:

PLAY is the major component of our program.
Enough time, materials, and space will be provided for children to actively explore the world around them.
