A Typical Day
The kindergarten and morning garden days begin with free play, a creative, unstructured time that is the heart of the children's day. Children follow their imagination and strengthen their creativity. They develop social skills, learning to listen, share, help and respect each other. A daily activity is offered such as painting, baking, drawing, beeswax modeling and craft activities.
After clean-up comes circle where the teacher leads the
children in singing seasonal songs, reciting verses and
poems, playing finger games and making rhythmic movements.
Quiet time follows this active time to give the children a few minutes to relax. A nourishing snack, that children have helped to prepare, follows and then they go outdoors for some rousing play. To end the morning, the teacher tells a fairy tale or a nature story, that is repeated for a week or two, allowing the children to truly absorb its images and bring it into their play.
