A Typical Day at Learn and Grow

As soon as your child arrives, they will be greeted by a member of our staff. After a thorough health check, they will engage in free play such as table top toys, blocks, puppets, and coloring! 

​

Free play is a great way for your child to get excited about the day ahead.

Now that your child and their friends have arrived it's time to start the day by exercising both their body and mind!

​​

The children participate in a large group activity such as action songs, cooperative games, movement activities, or group storytelling.

By now, your little one will have developed quite the appetite! It's time for them to wash their hands and join their friends for a delicious breakfast!

Greeting time begins your child's day of learning. This time is filled with shared active experiences that set the stage for the exploration ahead. Children and adults are together to share announcements, let the children know what is happening for the day,  problem solving, and an exploration of the message board. 

Work time is the largest block of time. It is when the children carry out their intentions, play, and problem solve. Your child interacts with classmates, teachers and materials. We also recognize the importance of one-on-one education. Therefore, teachers will work with your child individually and in small groups, on NYS core curriculum. This helps to ensure that every child's educational needs are met.

Snack time is a time to refuel and relax with friends.

Your child will explore specific content areas such as math, language development, fine motor skills, science, and problem solving during small-group times. The teacher introduces new materials for investigation with a learning goal in mind.

Outdoor play gives your child the needed opportunity to get fresh air and explore the natural environment. Our yard offers a natural playscape with a sliding hill, stepping stumps, a climbing dome, and an in-ground sand pit. In addition, the children enjoy gardening, ride-on toys, and outdoor blocks.  

You can bet that your child has worked up an enormous appetite. Hot and cold lunches that include vegetables, whole grain foods, and fruit are served daily.

After a full morning and a good meal, your child is ready to rest ... But not before a good book.

When your child awakes, another nutritious snack and conversation with friends awaits.

After rest and snack, your child returns outdoors, weather permitting, to resume exploration and play.

Specials are an important part of the Learn and Grow curriculum. Your child gets the opportunity to experience unique and new activities. Our specials may include foreign languages, cooking, literacy, art, STEAM, movement and yoga.
