Seven parts, every room

  1. Arrival and quiet play From 7:00 AM. Table activities and books while the room fills up.
  2. Morning meeting The calendar, the weather, and what is happening today. In the infant rooms this is songs and faces rather than a calendar.
  3. Outside Every day the New Hampshire weather allows. Send boots between November and April.
  4. Lunch Together, at the low tables, with as much of the serving done by the children as they can manage.
  5. Rest Everybody rests. Nobody has to sleep. Infants sleep on their own rhythm rather than the clock.
  6. An afternoon project Art, science, music or cooking, in small groups. Homework first for the after-school children.
  7. Pickup Free play as families arrive, until we close at 5:30 PM.

  • Children running across grass together after a ball on a summer day
