DAILY SCHEDULE:
MPTC
time is divided into three parts: activity/play time, snack time, and
circle time.
9:30 - 10:30
Activity Time and Free Play
Activity Time - On the activity tables,
children can work on special activities and projects. These activities
are planned by the "activity parent" who is scheduled for the day. If
you are wondering what type of activities are appropriate, it is always
fun to do something you and your child do at home. These activities
can, but do not have to be craft activities. They can be any
fun/learning activity that is different from the usual running around.
Something you would sit down for at home or some physical activity that
you could show the children (i.e. walking on a rope, doing a
somersault, crayon drawing or play dough, dressing up in front of a
mirror, etc.) works great - just something special that is different
from free play. If you do not have any ideas, please consult the files
or ask others for suggestions.
Free
Play - Both
children and parents benefit from the socialization during this time.
We provide coffee, tea, and hot chocolate and invite parents to share
their favorite snack with the other parents. MPTC owns a variety of
toys, a small trampoline, tricycles, bicycles, books, etc.; if you're
looking for a particular type of toy, ask another member or one of the
directors.
10:30 - 10:45
Snack Time
After play, members go to the snack area where the children enjoy a
little snack, usually consisting of some fruit, cheese, crackers, and
drinks. The snack is provided by a scheduled "snack parent". This
parent arranges snack on individual napkins provided for each child and
distributes the snack.
10:45 - 11:00
Circle Time
After snack time, children and parents sit in a circle and learn new
songs and finger plays, as well as enjoy old favorites.
