A Typical Day at The Villages Pre-school

A daily routine gives children a sense of security. This is why we ensure each day is properly structured while leaving enough time for spontaneous activities. Each day your child can choose from activities that will develop their confidence and build skills that will prepare them for school.

The daily routine at a glance:

Arrive          

Children find their names and

hang up their coat

Find their name on the self-registration board. Change from outdoor shoes into slippers.

 Key persons settle the children.

 

Free Play

Pre-planned free-flow play activities
Focus Activity (phonics, maths, cooking)
Assessment and observation

Snack Bar

Children are encouraged to find their snack mat, ask for what they would like to eat, pour their drinks, talk about tastes, and textures and try different foods.

 

Circle Time

Register time.  Name and recognition, turn-taking, singing, number games and basic concept work

 

Activities to support Learning          

Music and dance help with listening skills.  Co-operation, fine motor skills and creativity.  Cooking encourages discovery, maths, turn taking and trial and error.
