There will be more washroom routines throughout the day. I will go by the children's cues when toilet training and diapered children will be checked and changed when needed.
Our daily program is very flexible to allow for unplanned events or other opportunities that may arise throughout the day. Some days we may not fit all this in, but we will try!!!
We have a movie day once a week on Fridays. I pick the movies! We usually watch it after snack in the afternoon. Sometimes we will have a picnic on the floor with a large blanket and lots of pillows, and we eat our snack while watching the movie. This is only done as a special reward "cause we had such a great week!".
We go outside everyday to play in the backyard (weather permitting). On those cold and rainy days, we will be having special activities inside--games, dancing etc.
PARENTS - NITE - OUT
I offer a scheduled "Parents-nite-out" each month on a Friday night of my choice. This is a time for parents to go out and spend some quality time with each other without the need to hire a babysitter.
Fun activities will be planned for that night, which may include games, movies and/or other activities. I will also provide dinner and snack at my expense.
This is my way of thanking you and giving you some much needed time to yourselves.
