Trinity Nursery School Schedule

The following is an approximate time schedule of the children's activities. This may vary according to each teacher's individual plans. Being flexible is important in an early childhood education program as we strive to meet the needs and interests of children.

9:00 a.m. & 12:30 p.m.

ACTIVITY TIME... teachers may have a brief group time where children are welcomed, job assignments are made, activities are introduced, a prayer is said, etc. to start off the session. This activity time includes many opportunities for children to learn through play & the specifically planned learning centers. Children play with manipulative materials, blocks, sand or water, create art work, look at books, listen to tapes or records, participate in dramatic play, paint at the easel, etc. Science experiments and cooking may also take place during this time. Children are encouraged to choose activities that they enjoy.

10: 15 a.m. & 1:45 p.m. (approx.)

CLEAN UP TIME.. .The song, "Clean up time is almost here", is often sung to prepare the children for clean up time & the transition into group time. Children are encouraged to clean up as they finish playing with materials, such as puzzles, and return them to their place, in order to make clean up time easier.

10:20 a.m. & 1:50 p.m. (approx.)

GROUP TIME.. .This is an interactive time. Children participate by being the "weather person", discussing the Bible verse, etc. There are math and language flannel board activities that involve the children. Themes the children are studying are discussed at this time. Songs, stories, poems and finger plays will be included.

10:35 a.m. & 2:05 p.m. (approx.)

SNACK TIME.. .Children wash their hands & prepare for snack time. Snack is served family style with the children being independent by serving themselves. The child who brings the snack selects the prayer. The children are encouraged to converse and use good manners.

10:50 a.m. & 2:20 p.m. (approx.)

LARGE MUSCLE ACTIVITY TIME.. .If the weather permits, the children will go outside to play. In inclement weather the children will participate in physical education activities in Fellowship Hall where slides, tunnels, balance beams, etc. are set up for their enjoyment.

11 :05 a.m. & 2:35 p.m. (approx.)

STORY TIME...Wonderful selections from children's literature are read. Often the day is reviewed & activities that the children will be doing in future sessions are discussed.
