Program
The Sunshine Preschool offers:
DAILY SCHEDULE
Each day is different and activities will be developmentally appropriate, present new opportunities to learn, and most of all, be fun!
9AM Welcome
Every morning starts off with parents dropping off their children in our outdoor play space. They will be warmly greeted by Jeannie and connect with nature before the day begins.
9.15AM Morning circle
We start each morning with a welcome song, followed by a story or observation. We might discuss a bunny a child saw hopping around the property, or guess how many eggs the chickens laid the night before.
10AM Snack time
Parents provide water in a sippy cup, and a lunch bag for their child. Children can access their water at all times, and will have their choice of parent-provided food first at mid-morning snack. On days we bake, children may enjoy treats like whole grain banana bread, fresh green beans or spinach pancakes.
10.15AM Activities Every day the activities and format will be different - yoga or finger painting one day - running through sprinklers - music and movement the next.
11.30PM Lunch time
We sit around the picnic table in the shade and eat lunch together. Lunch time is leisurely and followed by further exploration and play.
12.45PM Goodbye circle
At the end of the day, we sing a goodbye song, acknowledging each child individually.
