activities, play outdoors, and experience free play in centers. They develop their social skills by
eating as a group, walking outdoors as a group, learning to sit with their friends during circle
time as well as learning to use words to express their feelings as opposed to actions. A planned
program of activities is provided for our learning centers which enhance independent and group
learning of various concepts and skills. This classroom focuses on mastering letter sounds,
counting individual objects and picking out colors. They also work on blending sounds, counting
objects & matching to the written number, and following patterns. The Otters work on various
fine and gross motor skills such as skipping, hopping, using pencils to write specific objects, and
using scissors to cut specific lines. This classroom attends chapel every week in the church’s
sanctuary to help introduce concepts of Christianity and work toward memorizing a monthly
memory verse.
OUTSIDE PLAY TIME
Children love to run, jump, climb, and find many other ways to exert their energy. Outdoor time
promotes good health by breathing fresh air and receiving sunshine. We are required to provide
at minimum of one hour of outdoor playtime everyday. It is the policy of PKLC to utilize all of
that time except under certain specific conditions.

During these times, children will go out for short periods of time several times during the day.

a coat or jacket if needed.
