Schedule
8:00-8:30
Early Drop-Off
An optional early drop-off is available for parents who need to start their day a bit earlier.
Arrival & Early Centers
Children arrive and settle in to one of the open centers. Quick activities are offered in the art studio.
Group Time
Our first group time always includes songs, movement, and dance. In addition, we plan for the upcoming day with discussion and calendar activities.
Center Time
Center time is the main activity period that gives children a chance to work in many different group dynamics. All centers are open and children may choose areas of play. During this time the art teacher leads a project in the art studio, and at least one other teacher leads a small group activity for all children. Music, yoga, or woodworking enrichment programs are offered one day each week. A greenhouse located on the property is an important part of our curriculum, giving children a chance to learn about the natural world.
Snack
Snack is provided each day and includes a carbohydrate (such as crackers), fruit or vegetable, and drink (milk or water). BPS maintains a nut-free environment to accommodate children with severe food allergies.
Story & Share Time
During this last group time a teacher reads a book to the children. The children are invited to recap their thoughts from our morning and they take turns sharing a special item from home.
Outdoor Play
Large motor activities round off the morning with outdoor play. The children can choose to play on the climbing equipment, ride a vehicle, dig in the sandboxes, play in the pretend house, or perhaps be a caretaker in the greenhouse.
12:00-2:00
Lunch Bunch
An optional, extended day program is offered to all preschool children. Additional activities often include cooperative games and more outdoor play.
