Activities & Routines

Thornhill Child Care Centre implements regular routines to ensure that children’s
developmental, nutritional, toileting, and
rest requirements are met. A variety of
activities, both teacher-directed and child
initiated, are provided for the child. The
programming is flexible, to accommodate
the children’s individual needs.

The program also provides a balance of
quiet and active types of play. Activities
are open ended with the children having
the choice of when to clean up and move
to another activity.

It is the staff’s role to facilitate and initiate
activities and opportunities, to interact with the children and intervene when necessary,
to enrich, extend, reinforce and clarify experiences.

Activities are relevant and meaningful for
the children. Concepts such as sharing,
cooperation, transportation, weather,
shapes, environment, fitness and sports,
letters, family, numbers, safety, nutrition,
and self-help skills are explored on a
daily basis.
