We embrace daily routines at The Children’s Preschool. Children are most comfortable and at ease when they can anticipate what will happen next.

Our schedule aims for a balance between:
· active and quiet times
· structured and unstructured play
· large and small group activities
· indoor and outdoor play

Every day, weather permitting, children play outside on our beautiful, shaded playground. We explore the natural world both in and outside the classroom. Our summer program is held almost entirely outside.

Children bring lunch from home every day. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Children enrolled in the full-day program have a rest time every afternoon.
