A Typical Playgroup Session

 

Arrival

 

10 minutes of free time to do whatever activity the child wants

 

Circle time

 

Each child is welcomed individually and calendar activities, which give the child sense of order and routine are conducted during the session.  Circle time is approximately 15 minutes depending on the concentration of the children.

 

1 Hour Activity time

 

A free work period time incorporating inside and outside time with staff working with individual children and parents.  Children eat snack at a designated table when they are hungry.

 

Circle time

 

Approximately 10 minutes - children are generally quite tired at this stage so we try to keep this circle time light hearted with instruments and singing and dancing, story time and formal goodbyes.
