Most Terrific Child Center’s environment is organized into activity centers.  The environment parallels the curriculum with several different areas allowing the children to move freely choosing their activities.  The day is scheduled into several blocks of time meeting the physical needs of the children and providing “program time” of either teacher-directed or self-selected activities.  Throughout the day there is a balance between indoor and outdoor time, active and quiet activities, and individual and group routines.  The schedule provides children a familiar framework that is secure and consistent. The particular areas or activities that you will see throughout the center include...

• Literacy/group area 
• Shelf toys and manipulative/s
• Music and movement
• Socio-dramatic play
• Creative sensory activities
• Sand and water play
• Block and construction
• Science experiences
• Outdoor and large muscle play
