A Day at Pre-School

Our Daily Routine

Our day begins at 8:15 AM for Little Caterpillars Morning, 8:45 AM for Early Birds, or 9:00 AM for the School Day Session. Upon arrival, children are warmly greeted by our friendly staff, find their peg to hang up belongings, and complete self-registration by locating their name card.

At 9:15 AM, we gather on the carpet for our cheerful ‘Good Morning’ song and register, then it’s time for free-flow play indoors and outdoors. Children can explore their interests, enjoy adult-led activities, and participate in singing, dancing, and circle time throughout the morning. A healthy, self-serve rolling snack bar is available from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM, with water accessible all day.

Lunch is a family-style experience where children enjoy their packed lunches with peers and staff, fostering independence and social skills. After lunch, we provide a quiet time for younger children needing rest before an energetic afternoon begins.

The afternoon includes more free-flow play, outdoor exploration, and a fruit snack at 2:00 PM. To close the day, all children come together for singing, games, and a story before home time at 3:00 PM.

For extended fun, Little Caterpillars Afternoon is available from 3:00 PM – 5:15 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Every day at Ben Rhydding is filled with play, learning, and joy!
