Daily Activities
Each day the curriculum is presented so each child can experience a wide variety of age-appropriate activities. These activities include the following: Bible: Children learn Bible verses and read Bible stories as part of the daily curriculum. Prayer is incorporated throughout the day – at Circle Time, before snack, and for the occasional “ouchie”. Interest Centers: Throughout the week children participate in arts and crafts, dramatic play, sensory stimulation, age appropriate manipulatives, problem-solving and puzzles, block building, and fine motor activities. Small Group: Circle time focuses on social awareness, auditory discrimination, attending abilities, and verbal skills. Snack: Children will eat in a group setting while practicing social and verbal skills as well as life skills and manners. Snack is parent provided. Music: Each classroom introduces new songs and creative movement that complement the monthly learning theme, as well as occasional activities with instruments. Chapel: Bible stories, chapel songs, birthday celebrations, and prayer are all an integral part of this special weekly gathering. Outdoor Play: Each day (weather permitting) the children will have time for free play on the playground. Sharing: To encourage the development of verbal language skills, children may be asked to bring in special toys or books which tie into the curriculum for show and tell. FieldTrips At this time, HCP does not participate in off-site field trips. However, HCP will provide additional “special learning experiences” for the classes on-site to supplement our planned curriculum. Service Projects HCP believes in serving the local community and is committed to showing our children what they can do to give back to their community. HCP will participate in at least one service projects during the year. |
