10:00 -10:20- Snack Time
10:20 -11:00- "Play and Learn"; At this time students choose their play -indoor or outdoor- while the teacher finds learning opportunities therein. Ex. If they are choosing books it can become storytime, playing in the pretend kitchen is a time to build on a particular area of vocabulary, building with blocks can introduce numbers and/or colors, and puppet play is a foundation for any number of "petites leçons" to come to life...the children are the guides during this segment. Following their lead points to real and meaningful learning experiences.
11:00 -12:00- Guided Activity; This time is usually dedicated to an art or craft expression that builds on a particular lesson or concept the children have been exploring.
12:00 -12:30- Déjeuner; Children sit down together at the table to enjoy a nutritious lunch. Early age table manners are introduced and encouraged.
