Preschool
Mornings lean academic: letters, numbers, calendar, and small-group work while attention is freshest. Afternoons open up for art, dramatic play, blocks, and outdoor time. Play isn't a break from learning at this age. It is the learning.
Toddlers
Toddlers need to move, so the day alternates between active and calm. Free play and music in the morning, outdoor time when weather allows, lunch, a real nap, then stories and small-group activities in the afternoon. Teachers narrate everything.
