Best PreSchool & Play School Program by Footprints
HighScope classrooms follow a predictable sequence of events known as the daily routine. This provides a structure within which children can make choices, follow their interests, and develop their abilities in each content area.

CHOICE TIME
- Alternatives given as choices to children always helps in honing their decision-making ability.
- At this time of the day children are given both, the choice and the apt material to choose from and play with.
- Children focus on what they can create and how they can use their skills to convert a simple teaching aid or a toy into a new creation in our pre school programs.
- Here we can note children creating empty carton boxes into farms and old clothes into robes.

SMALL-GROUP TIME
- In our early learning pre-school program, to identify one’s power and challenges, a small group is a prerequisite for being child-centric.
- Children here gather in small group and connect with the teachers while they are being closely observed and scaffolded to do the activities.
- This time of the day provides the child a secure space to communicate and express what they hesitate due to inhibitions in a larger setting.
- The play school educational activities here are diversified from tracing letters, playing number games to solving puzzles etc.

LARGE-GROUP TIMES
- Children grasp the principles of engaging in a bunch and establishing communities best in a large group setting.
- Here, children gather in a large group with their fellows and teachers to engage in various activities.

- The pre-school extra-curricular activities here range from music, group recitals, dance to story narrations, puppet shows and much more.

OUTSIDE TIME

- As for the weather, children along with the teachers spend around half an hour each day in the outdoor area.
- Children get to observe nature and also the principal lessons of life are learnt here like climate, sun, clouds etc.
- Pre-school children are seen engaged in different physical activities along with honing their senses.

TRANSITION TIMES
- This time of the day helps in creating a scheduled practice for the children. With a consistent everyday routine child knows what next is going to take place.
- In pre-school daily schedule transitions are the gaps between other blocks of the day, like arrival to choose time or outdoor to small group time.
