Each day includes opportunities for outdoor play, afternoon snack (provided by the center), time to do school work, and free-choice play. The school-age children typically play outside every day regardless of the weather; although if it is torrential, they will remain inside.

Please make sure your child has extra clothing (head-to-toe) in their classroom at all times.
