Class Room Schedule
The following is a sample of our daily classroom schedule:
9:00 – 9:30 Opening Circle 9:30 – 10:30 Activity Centers 10:30 – 11:00 Toileting and Snack time 11:00 – 11:45 Outside Time 11:45 – 12:00 Closing Circle
During Activity Centers the children are free to move from room to room, choosing activities they wish to use. Art and music activities are an important part of our program also, and are offered daily. Our regular schedule is flexible to accommodate for special classroom events, small group activities, pastor visits, and monthly fire drills.
Discipline
One of the major goals of our program is to help young children learn to live and grow with the ability to find joy in living with others. As each teacher gets to know your child and his/her classmates better, she will be able to guide them in positive social interaction – helping each learn skills of sharing, taking turns and negotiating differences. We believe parents and teachers must work together and support each other in reaching this goal, and so open communication is a very important aspect of this process. Most potential problems can be redirected and handled within the normal classroom setting between the teacher and individual child with love and respect for the child’s feelings.
Sometimes a child may need several minutes of “thinking time” within the classroom, but apart from the conflict situation to relax and consider alternative ways to approach a problem before being welcomed back into classroom activity.
If a negative behavior continues, a child may be asked to go to the Preschool office to visit the Director. Any child who is in jeopardy of physically hurting himself/herself or another classmate by his/her actions will be immediately taken to the office and a parent notified.
