A Typical Day
The preschool day begins with Morning Group Time. This is an important routine for the children where greetings, songs, key concepts and the day’s activities are shared.
After Morning Group Time, each classroom has its own unique daily schedule and activities. Daily schedules include time in learning centers, small group time activities, outdoor play, meals, and rest.
Throughout the day in our classrooms you will see lots of books, block building, singing, dramatic play, creative art, messy experimenting, graphing, group discussions, inquiry-based problem solving, and caring teacher-child interactions. School readiness, done right!
Building trusting, meaningful relationships is a foundational principle at PGPCC. Interaction with your family both at school and in the community is an effective way to enhance the communication and connectedness between children, parents, and teachers. Annual school-family activities include picnics, parties and parent-teacher conferences.
