A Typical Day

9:30am - 11:00am
Meet in the classroom to start the day with centers. . Centers include blocks, process art, home living, sensory play, science & nature, and manipulative exploration. Children also engage with teachers one-on-one during playtime and with art projects.  All toys  are rotated on a regular basis to provide children with age-appropriate opportunities to enhance their social-emotional and motor skills.  The classroom is provided exclusively for First S.T.E.P. and is sanitized daily.

Circle time!  Teachers read stories, lead songs, and teach children a variety of topics that are reinforced with art projects and experiments.
