How much free time do the children receive?
Mornings are very structured. The teachers have weekly lesson plans posted in each classroom that reflect some of the goals for the class. After nap, the schedule slows down with activities which are less structured and more self-directed allowing some freedom of choice. Outside play is provided both in the morning and afternoon, weather permitting. When outside, children will be involved in both planned and free activities. Teachers strive to balance structure and free time to help provide periods of adequate busy and quiet activities.
