The above gives just an indication of a typical day. The day will vary with weather, amount of children, and, age of children. We attend a playgroup on Wednesday mornings; this could be incorporated into the day if suitable. I try to include a variation of learning opportunities into the day. Focusing on the ability and age of the child whilst always incorporating numbers, letters and imaginative play. Please see activity sheets for examples of “ways to play”
