Welcome
We will meet under our grove of trees “The Grove” at 9 am. To reach The Grove outdoor space, you can park on the left after pulling into the school drive. We will welcome one another and talk while the children play for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then the instructor will signal that it is time for everyone to gather for our class circle time with movement and song.
Let’s Make Bread
Bread making (gluten / dairy free recipe optionsn available) is fun for everyone! We stir the dough, knead it, shape it, and place it on the tray for baking. Then we play and craft while it bakes and eat warm delicious bread as our morning snack! Parents are welcome to bring their own snack for children if desired (nut free). Everyone gets to make and eat bread, adults included!
Play & Craft
Adults will create a hand made craft including things such as knitting, sewing, paper work, felting, or other projects chosen by our teacher. Each week, the teacher
will also send an article to read for discussion. Children are playing during this time under the watchful eye of our assistant teacher. Caregivers can join their children in play or allow them to play independently
Puppet Story
Our lead teacher will tell the children an enchanting story that includes working with small puppets. Children are riveted by the intentional and delightful storytelling as they sit nearby their loving caregiver in a circle. Once the puppet show is over, the teacher will lead a goodbye circle with the settled little ones and wish everyone a lovely day ahead at 11am.
