Little Builders Preschool Daily Schedule
Each day is planned to provide activities and opportunities for emotional, social, cognitive, language, and physical development. Curriculum plans are posted so that parents may know what the children do each day and weekly newsletters are developed for parents that describe the planned activities and unique opportunities for the week.
The daily order of events will remain fairly constant so that the children can learn to anticipate "what's next". Occasionally changes are made in the schedule to accommodate weather changes, special trips, and visitors. The following is a typical schedule for our preschool group.

Little Builders Tuition and Fees
Little Builders Classroom has our computer that is utilized by the children to work on concepts being taught.
Safe Place
Little Builders has a "Safe Place" that is utilized for children needing time by themselves. This allows children to identify the emotions that are felt and time for reflection. We also have breathing techniques that are utilized on a regular basis. The safe place is next to our library so children can look at a book while there.
