Half-Day Preschool Schedule
Are you a preschool teacher searching for an effective and engaging half-day preschool schedule to enhance your classroom experience? At LSA, we have developed a program where every moment is filled with excitement, learning, and laughter! Our carefully crafted schedule ensures that each child receives a well-rounded educational experience that caters to their individual needs and interests. Join us as we take you through a typical day in our preschool, from drop-off to dismissal.
Drop-Off and Table Toys Play:
As the day begins, our little learners arrive full of energy and eagerness to start their day. Upon arrival, they engage in table toy play, where they can explore, create, and socialize with their peers. This time allows for a smooth transition into the school day while fostering independence and social skills.
Circle Time:
Gathered together in a cozy circle, our preschoolers embark on a journey of discovery during circle time. Here, we dive into various topics such as letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and our monthly theme. Through interactive songs, stories, and games, we make learning fun and engaging, laying the foundation for future academic success.
Group Activities:
Following circle time, our students are divided into three groups, each tailored to their developmental needs and interests. In these small group settings, they participate in themed activities designed to reinforce concepts introduced during circle time. Whether it’s fine motor activities, learning games, or hands-on exploration, every child has the opportunity to shine and grow at their own pace.
Snack and Recess:
After engaging their minds, it’s time to fuel their bodies with a nutritious snack. This not only promotes healthy eating habits but also provides a valuable opportunity for socialization and conversation. With their bellies full, our preschoolers head out for recess, where they can run, jump, and play to their heart’s content. Whether on our indoor or outdoor playground, recess is a time for exploration and gross motor development.
Centers Time:
Back indoors, our preschoolers enter a world of wonder during centers time. Each month, our classroom transforms into a themed room based on our current learning focus. From dramatic play to sensory exploration, our centers offer a variety of activities that encourage creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills. With freedom to choose their play experiences, children take ownership of their learning journey, fostering independence and self-confidence.
Pack-Up and Dismissal:
As the day draws to a close, our preschoolers return to the classroom to pack up their belongings and prepare for dismissal. This transition period allows for reflection on the day’s activities and encourages responsibility as children take pride in caring for their classroom environment. With hugs and waves goodbye, we bid farewell to another successful day of learning and fun.
Final Thoughts:
At our half-day preschool, every moment is an opportunity for growth, exploration, and joy. Through a carefully crafted schedule that balances structured learning with free play, we nurture the whole child, laying the foundation for a lifetime love of learning.
