Dally Schedule for Childcare

Literacy is the ability to read, write, listen, speak, and create texts in ways that enable us to communicate effectively with others.
Reading with children from an early age builds a solid foundation for literacy.
Reading age-appropriate books aloud to the children during regular story times.
Children can explore books independently at a cozy reading corner that has comfortable seating.
We set up some writing activities to develope children's writing skills.

Children can explore painting and drawing by using different paint colors, brushes, and sponges.
Incorporate different themes into your art curriculum to keep it interesting.
Focus on the process of creating art rather than the final product.
Setting up art activities outside, such as using chalk to draw pictures on walls and the floor
Be flexible and open to spontaneous art activities based on children's interests and ideas.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
At our daycare, STEM will be explored in a fun, age-appropriate, and engaging way through play, discovery, and exploration, such as gardening, counting, sorting, measuring, building with blocks, cardboard, and recycled materials, and so on.

We value being outside and believe utdoor play allows for unobstructed free play, problem-solving skills, self-regulation, risk-taking, and large body movements.
We plan outdoor play every day, considering the weather to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for the children. Our schedule remains flexible, allowing us to adjust activities as needed to make the most of each day’s conditions.
During good weather, more time will be spent outdoors, and in very hot or very cold weather, plans may be adjusted.
