Recess in the park near the school.
The morning concludes with a group gathering where students can share what they did.
• Lunch in classrooms in small groups, with both teachers present. Students participate by setting the table. They wash their hands and sit in mixed-age groups. This encourages younger children to be more independent and older children to help the younger ones as needed.
• Mealtime is a moment for relaxation and conversation. Students are encouraged to taste everything but are not forced to eat. They clear their plates and help clean the room.
Flexible nap time is offered for children who need it, with no age limit, and quiet activities are provided for those who do not nap.
• Classroom activities, supervised by teachers. Students waking from their nap gently rejoin the group for independent or paired activities.
• The same organization as in the morning. As children's attention tends to wane in the afternoon, we offer consolidation activities rather than discovery-based ones.
Staggered departure for children not staying for after-school care. Teachers inform parents about the day's events.
• Snack time between 4:00 PM and 4:40 PM. The snack is balanced. Children participate in its preparation, serving, and clearing.
• After-school activities offered from 4:40 PM to 5:20 PM (also on Wednesdays from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM): workshop games, artistic, cultural, sports activities...
• Free time from 5:20 PM to 6:00 PM.
