8 AM \u2013 11 AM<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Arrival & Montessori Work Cycle<\/h3><\/div>

The day begins at a relaxed pace, with a flexible arrival window between 8:00 and 8:45 am. As soon as they arrive, the children begin their Montessori work cycle, which continues until around 11:00 am. During this three-hour period, children follow their individual needs, working independently or in small groups with the Montessori materials. Our educators observe and support them attentively, introducing new materials through individual presentations. To keep the children energised throughout the morning, a healthy snack is available throughout this time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

11 AM \u2013 11:30 AM<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tidying Up & Circle Time<\/h3><\/div>

A gentle bell signals the end of the work cycle. Together, the children put away the materials they have been using and gather for circle time. We sing songs, share stories, introduce another Montessori presentation, talk about special events, and celebrate milestones such as birthdays together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

11:30 AM \u2013 12:30 PM<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Outdoor Time<\/h3><\/div>

Fresh air does us good, so afterwards everyone heads outside. Our kindergarten has a sheltered courtyard with its own playground, giving children plenty of space to move, play and explore. We spend an hour outdoors in all weather. We also regularly visit nearby playgrounds, offering children new opportunities for play and movement and a chance to discover nature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lunch Time<\/h3><\/div>

At 12:30 pm, we gather around three tables, each with an educator, and enjoy a warm and nutritious lunch together. The children have their own designated seats and take an active role in our community by helping to serve the food and tidy up afterwards. A pick-up window opens directly after lunch at 1:30 pm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1:30 PM \u2013 2:15 PM<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rest and Sleep Time<\/h3><\/div>

After lunch, we divide into two groups for an important period of rest. In our \u201cPluto\u201d room, we create a cosy sleep environment: the room is darkened and the children snuggle into their beds for a nap. In our \u201cSaturn\u201d room, the children relax after a short story, enjoying dimmed lighting and gentle music.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Free play time<\/h3><\/div>

The afternoon begins at 2:30 pm with a short, cosy group gathering filled with songs, favourite stories, or a Kamishibai storytelling session. Afterwards, we head outside together to play in our courtyard. Alternatively, we may spend the afternoon indoors building with LEGO, playing with wooden trains or Kapla, getting creative with an arts and crafts activity, or enjoying gardening and planting in our outdoor space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1083","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1083"}],"version-history":[{"count":105,"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2119,"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1083\/revisions\/2119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kindergarten-baobab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
