Activities of the day
The organization primarily concerns the lives of children in the crèche. In the babies’ sections, organizing routines (meal and sleep times, hygiene, proposed discoveries …) depends on what the child experiences at home and supervisory staff reflects the rhythm of each child to meet the demand of everyone.
Gradually, the children go to a more collective rhythm and a true group dynamic takes place. The organization sets times, questioning, discovery, meals, sleep for children to have stable spatiotemporal marks and security.
Specifically, a nursery’s daily routine is organized as follows:
| |
