Some mornings, we start outside where I love to dig in the sandpit, paint at the easels, climb on the bars, or look at books. When it’s chilly, we play indoors with fun materials and toys I can explore on my own. I get to choose what I want to do, and my educators are always close to help me learn new things.

At morning tea, I sit with my friends and choose from yummy seasonal fruits and snacks. My educators ask me what I’d like, which makes me feel important and heard. After we eat, my teacher shares with my family how much I enjoyed my snack.

I can choose to play inside or outside. Outside, I might have a picnic, kick a ball, climb, or paint. My educators change the outdoor area often so I can discover new things. Inside, I might build with blocks, do little experiments, or make art. These activities help me practice using my hands, focusing, and learning with my friends.

Lunch is served at the table, and I might use a toddler chair or booster. The meals are tasty and healthy, and if I need special food, my educators make sure I get what’s best for me. Water is always available to keep me refreshed.

Some of my friends are learning to use the toilet. My educators work with my family to help me learn this in a way that feels good and comfortable. They update my parents on how I’m doing, so everyone helps me in the same way.

I sleep on my own bed with my sheets and blanket, all labelled just for me. Sometimes, my family asks that I nap a little less as I get ready for preschool. When I wake, I choose quiet activities like reading a book or drawing, so I don’t wake my friends who are still sleeping.

As more friends wake up, I might explore outside, walk on the balancing beam, or read quietly. These activities help me build confidence and patience.

We have afternoon tea with fruit and snacks I pick myself. After eating, I practice scraping my bowl and washing my face and hands to take care of myself.

After putting on sunscreen and my hat, I play outside again — climbing, building, playing ball games, or exploring nature. Sometimes I try tricky climbs or balancing because I know my educators are close by to keep me safe.

It’s time to tidy up! We all help put toys and blocks away. I like carrying the books back inside and getting ready for the next day’s fun.

We sit together for a late snack of fruits and veggies while waiting for our families. Sometimes I ask my educator to read me a story.

When my family comes, my educators share stories and photos of my day. My parents sign me out on the iPad or the OWNA app so we can all stay safe.
