Our Daily Routine at Tiny Toes

At Tiny Toes, our daily routine is designed to help children feel safe, confident, and excited about their day. Predictable rhythms support emotional security while leaving plenty of room for creativity, movement, and play.

Morning Routine

We begin our day by welcoming each child with a cheerful Good Morning. During Circle Time, we greet friends, talk about the day, sing songs, and build early listening and social skills. Afterward, we practice cleaning up together, learning responsibility and teamwork.

Children then enjoy Snack Time, followed by Hand Washing, helping them build healthy habits and independence. Our mornings continue with Craft Time, where little hands explore colors, textures, and creativity. Next comes Center Play, allowing children to choose activities, problem-solve, and play collaboratively. Before lunch, we tidy up again, reinforcing care for our shared space.

Lunch Time

Lunch is a calm, social moment where children practice self-help skills, table manners, and conversation with friends.

A nice nap πŸ’€ is a must for a fresh afternoon start

Afternoon Routine

After lunch, we gather for a gentle Good Afternoon check-in, followed by clean-up time. Children then move their bodies during Gym and Yoga, supporting balance, coordination, and self-regulation.

We continue with simple experiments and hands-on exploration, encouraging curiosity and early STEM thinking. The day winds down with Story Time, helping children relax, imagine, and build language skills. After a final clean-up, we end the day with a warm Goodbye, celebrating the time we spent together.

Our routine balances structure and flexibility, helping children feel secure while growing socially, emotionally, and creativelyβ€”one joyful day at a time πŸ’›

🎨 My Classroom Rule Illustrations

I draw my rules.

Not printed posters.

Not complicated charts.

Just simple marker drawings.

Because wobblers understand pictures faster than words.

🚫 No Pushing

(Big circle with a line)

Two friends pushing.

Sad faces.

Stopped by a purple circle.

This tells them:

β€œWe don’t hurt.”

🚫 No Pulling

Hair pulling, arm grabbing β€”

also inside the circle.

Visual reminder:

Hands must stay gentle.

🚫 No Hitting

No rough hands.

No angry faces.

The crossed circle means:

Stop. Not here. Not at Tiny Toes.

πŸ’› Yes to Friendship

Under every β€œNo” picture,

there is a β€œYes” picture.

Two smiling friends.

Holding hands.

Holding a heart.

Because children need to see:

what TO do β€”

not only what NOT to do.
