Typical day
This is a unifying thread for the team and not an imposed schedule. It is necessary to adapt the schedule in function of the children’s rhythm, especially for the „babies“, while however trying to maintain some important moments: singing, nursery rhymes, small activities.
- 7h30-9h15: Gentle welcoming of the childeren and of the people who accompany them.
The first contact is important as are the written and oral exchanges (contact notebook) between the team and the parents on the child’s conditions (awakening time, breakfast, diaper change, general condition..). It is a calm moment when the children play freely in the different corners or in which they participate to small and easily manageable activities. Cuddles, a primary need, don’t have a specific time.
