This schedule represents our commitment to providing a balanced blend of educational activities, play, and rest, ensuring that each child experiences a day full of discovery and joy in a supportive and engaging environment.
The day at Kids Care Club starts in the Little Monkeys Room, where preschoolers are warmly welcomed and settle into a variety of engaging learning centers. This period is crucial for a smooth transition from home to school, offering activities that foster creativity and social interaction.
Following the learning centers, children participate in clean-up, learning the value of cooperation and responsibility. This is followed by hand washing, an important routine for hygiene and self-care.
Snack time offers nutritious food and a chance for social interaction, where children practice table manners and engage in conversations with peers and teachers.
