This is an EXAMPLE of our schedule. Potty breaks are not scheduled in, as bladders can't tell time. We do have potty breaks every few hours, and diapers are changed frequently Scheduling is subject to change depending on the children I have in child care. For example, for older children, we may do PEOPLE of HISTORY rather than a COMMUNITY HELPER, or learn to TELL TIME rather than work on a number. Our schedule changes to accommodate the children enrolled Because of short attention spans, times may vary. If the children become restless, we allow for more free time or outside play (weather permitting), then come back to our planned activities and lessons. Monthly: Virtue of the Month and definition to memorize (moral characteristics that makes us good citizens and have good values. Examples: respect, responsibility) WEEKLY: THEME BASED: VOCABULARY WORDS, LETTER(S), MATH, COLOR(S), SHAPE(S) Breakfast 7:00 (starts)- 7:45 (stops) Clean up time, potty breaks and outside time (summer months) Outside time from 8:00- to at least 9:00 (summer months) 9:00-9:15 Circle Time We work on a Calendar, days of the week and months of the year. During this time, we also Work on the Alphabet, spelling of children's names, theme related songs, and go over what we'll be working on for the day 9:15-10:30 Learning Time During this time, we will work on worksheets, arts and crafts, special projects, interactive songs, finger plays and center time. We will also work on community helpers, science experiments and health. We may also learn through educational games usually designed or chosen for our theme, number, letter or shape for that week. Depending on learning levels, some children may be working on vowel sounds and/or learning to read. 10:30-11:30 Outdoor Play (weather permitting) During bad weather, we use this time for other physical activity that may include tunnels, indoor trampoline, tents and/or ball pit 11:30-12:30 Lunch 12:30-2:30 Rest Time 2:30-3:30 Snacks and Free Play 3:30-4:45 Educational Tub Time During this time, your child will have fun digging, exploring, measuring, shaking, scooping and observing. For more info about our tubs, see here 4:45-5:30: Clean Up and Get Ready to go Home NOTE: Children are encourage, but not forced, to participate in the above activities. If one or two children tire of any of the above, I'll try a substitute. Sometimes, especially younger children, want to play independently. If the children, as a group, tire of any of the above, we'll move on to the next activity or have a short break of free play. |
