​The Morning Rhythm

 

​8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

​8:00 AM | The Morning Hop: Welcome and arrival. We practice the "regular stuff"—hanging up gear and greeting friends—to build social-emotional independence.

​8:30 AM | Trailblazing: Deep immersion in our large backyard forest. We explore PNW textures, watch local wildlife, and develop motor skills through natural play.

​10:00 AM | Language Lab & Snack: A healthy, home-provided snack. I use my Speech Communication background to model new vocabulary and encourage early verbal "crossings" between peers.

​10:45 AM | Creative Roots: ECE-focused activities such as mud painting, animal-tracking games, or "nestling" in for a story under the trees.

​11:30 AM | The Gentle Nestle: Reflecting on our morning discoveries and gathering our "treasures" (pinecones, leaves, and memories) as we prepare for the transition home.

​12:00 PM | Pickup: Little explorers head home just in time for lunch and their afternoon nap.
