How to structure a day for young ones

[Inspired by Reggio]

I am a lover of lots of time for FREE PLAY myself with access in the playroom to lots of open ended materials designed to support creative role playing and discovery ... I do not 'structure' too much of their day where it is ME who is leading play or entertaining them ... that is their job.

My day goes like this - times vary cause I do not watch the clock but rather their cues but the 'flow' is the SAME everyday.

7:30 .... arrival children engage in either free play or sensory/creative art option set up at table
8:30 .... snack time / washroom routine
9:00 .... outside time / field trip / playroom in inclement weather
10:30 .... field trip / playroom in inclement weather
12:00 .... Lunch time / Story Circle time
1:00 .... Nap / Quiet Time activities
3:30 .... Snack Time
4:00 ... Outside time until go home / inclement weather we do sensory / creative at table
