• Ease into the day — calm, quiet activities to help children make the transition from home
to school.
• Morning or afternoon meeting — greeting, story time, songs, theme-related focus, etc.
• Small group — a teacher-led, skill-based activity that could include literacy, math, science,
social or motor skills.
• Active learning — the heart of preschool. Teachers set up learning centers that provide
hands-on, self-directed experiences for children.
• Large motor time — time outside or in the gym to work on large motor skills.
• Snack time.
• Regroup to revisit — highlight what happened that day and thinking about the next day.
