After clean up, we move to circle time where we sing, read, and work on important social-emotional skills like listening to our friends, taking turns, and sharing
After breakfast, we head outside for recess and gross motor time
During our morning centers time, children are grouped by age and rotate between literacy enhancement and art
Following centers, we come together for sciencetime
Next up is a healthy lunch, followed by quiet time, and then back outside for some fresh air and free play

Our policy and evidence-based practice show that positive based reinforcement strategies are among the most impactful for our learners. Southeast Little Learners Preschool will use the following strategies for managing all student behaviors while in attendance:
Use “first, then” statements to assist the child in understanding that completion of required tasks is followed by preferred items (e.g. First pick up the toys, then it is time for a snack). This helps reinforce the completion of learning tasks and keeps children moving through their learning experiences
Do not respond to attention-seeking behaviors in ways that reinforce unwanted behavior if children are engaging in undesired behavior (complaining, stomping foot, etc)
Assist children in identifying alternative actions in the presence of unwanted behavior (“if you want help you could say ‘help me please’)
Model appropriate communication and manners to children in all learning experiences (e.g. requesting items, requesting social communication from peers and adults, transitioning within learning tasks, requesting help)
Use child-directed learning where children pick appropriate preferred items with which to interact once work tasks are completed
Assist children in interpreting their own emotions
Our goal with these strategies is to:
Help children obtain meaningful social interactions with both adults and peers in an acceptable way.
Teach children to ask for help and other items when needed
Understand the needs of others around them and that give-and-take relationships are necessary to obtain what they want
Build communication skills and language
Build listening and direction following skills
Help children understand safe actions within their environment
Help students identify their emotional states and strategies for managing the state they are in based upon a given situation
Southeast Little Learners Preschool will not use:
Physical punishment of any kind
Harsh or abusive language towards any child
Any procedures that would knowingly neglect, frighten, or cause physical/emotional harm to a child
