Upon arrival Licensing observed a circle meeting taking place where the teacher explained all of the different activity areas that children could choose from, children left the circle meeting and chose their first activity of the day.
Children freely moved between activities which consisted of: play dough, a turkey making gluing project, free paint at easels, sensory boxes, books, fine motor equipment (lock box, puzzle etc) light table, building with blocks, engaging in dramatic play, creating stories at a doll house, playing at the train table.
Licensing observed staff getting down on children's level to discuss their activities, assist with problem solving etc.
When staff noticed a child was unsure of what activity to choose they discussed the options with them to assist with their choice making. |
