The daily routine at Happy Go Lucky Childcare will consist of many elements so that children are challenged intellectually while also having fun at the same time. Our routine will be flexible given the needs of the children on any given day and will vary according to age group and classroom.
Group circle time will contain multiple elements, such as: large body movements, singing songs, reading stories, talking about different topics, playing games, etc. Group activities will be art projects, creating with play dough, practicing small motor skills, etc. Our afternoon activity will consist of outdoor play, weather permitting, or inside play time. Whether we are inside or outside, this activity will focus specifically on large gross motor skills and getting the children up and moving.
Activities and schedules will also vary by classroom and age group. The schedule for your child’s classroom will be posted in their room, so please review it for any changes. Infants will always be on their own eating and sleeping schedules, which will vary each day depending on that child’s needs.
We are fortune to have weekly music classes! Zazzy Zoe has been making music with youngsters of various ages for over two decades, and since 2013 has made a career in facilitating music in preschools and the community, and performing for young children and their families. While creating music, rhythms, and movements with objects like shaker eggs, dancing scarves, frame drums, gathering drums, rhythm sticks, percussive instruments and of course voices and bodies, kids get to have FUN during Zoe's classes while forming/growing foundational musical principles and a love of music. Her music often corresponds with the changing of the seasons, the natural world, time of year, festivities/celebrations, and weather, making the music relevant to what's going on in our surrounding environment. Zoe has an impressive collection of stuffies, which often make appearances during her music classes. She loves to write songs, modify the songs of others, and write music and add lyrics to little snippets she finds online. You can find out more about Zoe at https://www.zazzyzoe.com/.
