Sample Daily Schedule
Welcome & Free Play
Children ease into the day with time to explore, connect with friends, and settle into the classroom.
Circle Time
We gather to sing songs, read stories, and talk about the day ahead — building language, confidence, and community.
Hands-On Learning
Guided activities support early literacy, math, science, and creative expression — always tailored to the children’s interests.
Outdoor Play
We head outside for fresh air, movement, and discovery — whether it’s digging in the garden or chasing bubbles in the yard.
Lunch
Children enjoy a healthy, balanced meal shared in a warm, communal setting.
Quiet Time
After lunch, children rest or engage in quiet activities that help them recharge in their own way.
Creative Exploration
Art, music, dramatic play, and sensory fun help children express themselves and build fine motor skills.
Snack Time
A light, healthy snack gives children the energy boost they need for the rest of the day.
End-of-Day Connection
We wind down with books, play, and one-on-one time as families arrive for pickup.
A Day at Sonja’s Smart Tots
Structure, play, and joy — all in one day.
Our daily rhythm is designed to help children feel secure, supported, and inspired to explore. Here's a glimpse into what a typical day looks like at Sonja’s Smart Tots:
Small Group Learning
We keep our classroom sizes small so every child receives personal attention and support.
Child-Led Exploration
Activities are guided by children’s interests — whether they’re curious about bugs, colors, or how things grow.
Emphasis on Joy
From silly songs to spontaneous dance parties, joy is at the heart of everything we do.
Kindergarten Readiness
We build early literacy, number sense, fine motor skills, and social development so your child is prepared and confident for the next step.
