children arrive
8:00am-9:00am
​
Our doors are unlocked and families arrive! The first hour of our day together is outdoor play time. When the weather is cold we offer the option to play indoors. Every Thursday we make individual sourdough loaves at 9am, which the kids get to take home (a favorite part of our week).
snack time
9:30am
​
We provide healthy plant-based snacks each morning! Often we have kid-made smoothies and homemade sourdough bread (we love to toast it and offer a variety of topping options). Most of our snacks are purchased from our local waste-free grocery store The Realm Refillery.
circle & project
10am
​
After a morning of choice time children are excited for our daily gathering around the circle! Circle time includes a daily Loving Kindness meditation, our weekly letter study, calendar, songs/dances, and story!
​
Project time is always different, and typically goes along with our weekly/monthly theme.
choice time
11:15 (ish)
​
Children are allowed to finish up project at their own pace, and then head out into the school for choice time. Children can explore the many options on our shelves that relate to our weekly theme, enjoy art activities, play in our play room, read stories, or relax in our circle room!
Lunch
12:15 (ish)
​
Lunches are sent from home daily. During lunch we listen to a Sparkle Story and discuss the lesson in the story together.
Afternoon Art & Play
1pm
After finishing lunch kids enjoy more gross motor play in the backyard! On cold days they may choose to enjoy an indoor art opportunity. At 1:45 we will gather to share our favorite part of the day (or daily practice of gratitude). This will ease us into the next transition of getting ready to go home.
