Program Highlights

The success of any program is dependent on proper organization, planning, and execution. At Favorite Time we are committed to provide an environment conducive to learning, recreation, and rest or nap time. We provide times for open-play, scheduled activities, and an overall rhythm and tempo that permits structure and spontaneity.

Flexible Daily Schedule

Posted in each classroom on the parent bulletin board is an event and timeline schedule for a typical day at Favorite Time. The schedule gives parents an idea of how their child will spend their day. The day is filled with fun and exciting things to do where children learn through play. Outlined in the schedule are the time and activities with the educational goals for each event. The schedule is very flexible to accommodate changes in weather, child-preferred activities, and special event days. Flexibility is balanced with daily routine periods such as meal times, group time, and rest time to provide continuity, order, and structure.

Creative Curriculum Menu

Also posted on the bulletin board in each classroom is the weekly lesson plan menu. Lesson plans are custom to the age of the child in each classroom. Lesson plans include art, group time, sensory, science, math, music & movement, games, literacy, and writing.

Bilingual Introduction to Spanish

Ongoing research has revealed that immersing your child in a second language early in life has huge beneficial results in a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth. In our introduction to Spanish, infants will be charmed as they absorb linguistic sounds and tunes by Spanish songs, poems, rhymes and words. Children two and up will have the opportunity to enjoy and learn basic words and phrases through various activities including songs, games, puppet interaction, and much more.
