OUR DAILY RHYTHM

A predictable routine helps children to build confidence and feel safe and secure in their environment.  We provide consistency within our program, yet we have the flexibility to adapt and make the most of spontaneous learning experiences as they occur.  We also have planned events and visitors, which enables children to manage change.

Generally, our daily rhythm is as follows, we do ask that you apply sunscreen before you arrive at Riverside:

  • Children arrive, re-connect with educators and their friends and unpack their belongings, wash hands.

  • Indoor or Outdoor play: a time to be active and explore

  • Progressive Morning tea

  • Small Group times children break up into small group experiences for intentional teaching purposes.

  • Indoor/outdoor play: a time to engage in educational and role-playing activities

  • Split Group times

  • Lunch

  • Inside/outside quiet activities and rest time learning mindfulness and breathing techniques.

  • Children prepare for the end of the day by gathering their belongings, putting on their shoes and engaging in quiet activities

  • Progressive Afternoon tea/ outdoor Play

  • Home
