A day in the life
Our Day at Little Crumbles
Every day is thoughtfully structured to balance learning, play, rest, and nourishment — so children thrive and families feel at ease.
Welcome To Our Home
Arrival
Easy Arrival - Our goal is to make drop off quick! Staff will greet you. Use the Pin Pad to enter your child's code. Be sure to say goodbye!
Enter The Classroom
Welcoming Activities - Upon arrival your child will find many activities that have been intentionally selected for them to interact with.
Outside We Go
At Little Crumbles we go outside as soon as possible. 70% of our day is outside. We run between the raindrops and have many covered spaces.
Lunch & More
Children eat our meals that are prepared for their senses: taste, smell, eyes and pallet. New foods are fun! Friends see each other eating. It's gentle encouragement to try it.
Nap Time
Everyone naps. Children play after lunch for good digestion. Toys are picked up outside. Shoes are off, toileting and diaper changes, hands washed and they scramble to their pads. Room is darkened. Children sleep until they naturally wake up unless LC is requested to follow a sleep pattern.
Ready to Play
As children wake they use the toilet and diapers are changed. Hand washing always follows after a child uses the bathroom or diaper is changed. Shoes go on and outside they go for activities until 3 are awake. Snack is fresh fruit and something dry: goldfish, pretzels, graham crackers or ritz with Peanut Butter, tortilla chips or crackers. After meals and snacks the children bus their own plates, cups and utensils. Damp paper towels are used to wipe up hands and mouths. These are warm in the morning.
End of Day
Our Goal is to send home children who have been loved, nurtured, needs met and ready to spend the rest of the day happily with their family. Children help pick up as we prepare for their departure. One child announces the arrivals of someone's Mommy or Daddy. Hugs and goodbyes make for happy home going. Even Maili, our girl dog gets a wave good bye!
Learning Through The Day
At Little Crumbles activities are often spontaneous as we take advantage of the moments given us. Sensory play in water on a hot day is wet and cool, stimulating curiosity as our yard floods and the duck floats.
