It is broken into blocks of time that include arrival, meetings, work periods, recess, quiet time, stories/songs, snacks, and games. During meetings, the class discusses the message and letter of the day. Work periods involve independent and group activities like puzzles and dramatic play. Story time focuses on developing language and comprehension through reading stories and rhymes related to the theme of the week. Snack time incorporates values like nutrition and self-help skills. Overall, the schedule balances teacher-led and independent activities to foster children's development across academic, social-emotional, and life skills.
