The "family" environment provides a great nurturing experience and lots of loving for the children. We maintain a consistent "flow" of events during the day so the children can become familiar with routine. We do not write lesson plans. Instead, we put my energy into providing materials and props that will enhance the children's interests and energy levels each day.
