ROUTINES

What we do Every Day
OUR ROUTINES

WE START OUR DAY WITH BREAKFAST

Every day we start our day with breakfast in which we practice independence and each one serves what they will eat.

WE SING, READ A STORY, DANCE AND REMEMBER TASKS

Every day we have our circle time, in which we greet each other, sing, read a story, dance and remember what we will do all day long.

FREE PLAY, PAINT, PLAY-DOH, PUZZLES AND DRAMATIC PLAY

We have every day, in the morning and afternoon, moments of free play in which they decide what they want to do, paint, play-doh, puzzles, dramatic play area, or with musical instruments.

COOKING EXPERIENCE

On Wednesdays we have our Cooking Experience and because our children are so small we do not make complicated recipes, but rather we focus on the exploration of certain foods and what we can do with them.

WE GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY FOR A WHILE

Every day before lunch we go outside to play for a while, there we have several options, play in the house, pretend to prepare food for someone else, play in the sandbox, share and take turns with the motorcycle, play with balls, jump in the puddles, etc.

WASH OUR HANDS AND TAKE OUR LUNCHES

When we go inside we usually go straight to wash our hands, and then we go to take our lunches.
We always sit down together at the table, each child chooses which chair to sit on that day, although we always have the same plates and glasses, each one recognizes their plate. Thus we teach them that there are things that are personal and others that do not and that we must respect that who arrives first in a chair has the right to it.

NAP TIME AN A FEW MINUTES TO READ

During the nap time we always have a few minutes to read before going to sleep, after about 10 minutes, the curtains close, the lights go out and the music turns on. As this is a routine, it is very easy for them to assimilate that it is time to sleep and immediately fall asleep. The exercise of the whole morning exhausted them enough.

WAKE UP, EAT OUR SNACK AND GO OUT TO PLAY

When we wake up, we put on our shoes, take our sheets in each bag and the beds return to their place, changing diapers and after washing our hands we eat our snack, then we go out to play again and come back to prepare to leave to home.

ROUTINE THAT WE REPEAT EVERY DAY

All this is a routine that we repeat every day, but the most important thing is the different thing that arises in each unique moment and those are the moments in which they learn and grow, developing new motor skills, social skills, language, reasoning, problem solving. That's why even though each day seems the same, everyone is different, unique and special, like our children. Have a great weekend, I see you next Tuesday, enjoy the pictures.
