Pre-K Daily Schedule

​Every day is different, but below is a schedule to get a general idea of all the fun and learning that happens each preschool day. 

• 15 min. – Welcome, Table Time

  We are so excited for everyone to arrive!  We take off our backpacks and get right to working on fine motor skills such as beading, manipulatives, cutting, gluing, writing our names, playdoh, etc.

  
  

  
  

• 25 min. – Opening Circle Time

  We gather together at the circle rug to work on our cognitive, social, language, and gross motor skills with our sharing time, calendar, weather, and job helpers. We sing and move our bodies to get our wiggles out before school time with music & movement.

  
  

  
  

• 75 min. – Discovery Center Time

  We discuss/review the current theme and new or unfamiliar centers around the room. Discovery is often known as “Free Play” or “Play Time.” Our many centers include Dramatic Play, Sensory, Art, Building, Literacy, Writing, Engineering, and Science.  We work on social, emotional, and language skills such as using our words, taking turns, being patient, negotiating conflicts, etc.  In addition, our teacher brings over small groups or works 1-on-1 with building cognitive skills (colors, shapes, letters, sounds, numbers, counting, etc.) based on each child’s level.

  
  

  
  

• 25 min. – Recess

• You’ll think we’re just playing, but we’re actually working on our social, emotional, language, and gross motor skills as we run, jump, climb and create games.

• 
  

  
  

• 20 min. – Snack Time

  We love working on our cognitive, social, language, and fine motor skills as we pour, measure, sort, count, chat, and enjoy eating together.

  
  

  
  

• 20 min. – Closing Circle

  We head back to the circle rug to work on our cognitive skills with story time and the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, social and language skills with discussing what we’ve learned, and emotional skills with getting ready to go home.
