Daily Routine and Activities

Daily Schedule and Activities

At the Children’s Center, we strive to provide a nurturing, healthy and comforting environment where children can be happy, healthy, and secure. Every room’s schedule and environment are designed to help children develop positive self-esteem.

Children are involved in many different activities throughout the day suitable for their developmental level on a group and individual basis. Activities provided include arts, crafts, music, and movement along with unstructured and structured play. Enrichment activities are designed to enhance their emotional, cognitive, social, and physical development. They are planned based on children’s interest and are structured and supervised. All children are encouraged to participate within their abilities. A daily schedule and monthly newsletter are printed to inform parents of the activities.  Students are asked to come to school neat, clean, and dressed appropriately for the season and childcare setting.  The district policy (File: JICA) regarding dress code is enforced while students are attending the Children’s Center.

Playground

The playground areas at the Children’s Center are used to help children develop their large motor skills and experience nature. Every class has scheduled playground time daily. If they cannot play outside due to weather restrictions or hazards, large motor activities will be provided indoors. All structures, equipment and environments are checked for safety daily. All indoor equipment meets safety standards.
