Arrival and Math
As the children arrive and are greeted, they join the teacher for math manipulative exploration. While the 2.5 year olds spend much of this time on free exploration, the 3 and 4 year olds have specific math concepts that they focus on.

Music and Movement

Language Development
Activities vary from storybooks, felt board stories, puppets, alphabet related activities, to pre-reading and pre-writing skills.

Snack and Outdoor Recess
