8.30 am Center Time/Guided Play

• Centers are activities children can do independently that allow them to practice things they’ve learned in school and provide opportunity for exploration and discovery. During Center Time, teachers are able to work with small groups of students and focus on their individual learning needs. Centers reinforce important skills and keep students productive, engaged and learning.

• Center time/Guided Play is followed by a lesson/activity that focuses on the development of 1 of the child’s 8 “Smarts”. Using Multiple Intelligence theory as our guide, the children will develop their own unique gifts in 8 key areas of intelligence (see “Our Curriculum” for more details).
