A gentle beginning
Families arrive at 9:00 so children can enter the day alongside their friends.
A Day at Foxville Kids
A thoughtful rhythm
with room to connect and explore
Our daily rhythm gives children the security of knowing what comes next, with plenty of time for focused learning, active play, outdoor exploration, nourishing meals, stories, and new discoveries.
Main Program 9:00–2:00
Kindergarten Readiness 2:00–3:30
No nap time
The Daily Rhythm
Active moments.
Gentle pauses
A familiar schedule gives children consistency, while each day still responds to the current investigation, the weather, and the interests unfolding in the group.

Arrival & Transitions
Predictable enough to feel safe. Flexible enough to feel personal
Arrival is a transition, not a handoff. We welcome each child personally and give them time to separate, observe, and join when they are ready.
Throughout the day, we prepare children for what comes next. Familiar cues, simple expectations, and enough time to finish help transitions feel calm rather than rushed.
Time to shift gears
We let children know what is coming and support them in completing, cleaning, and moving forward.
A clear ending
Story and closing time create a calm bridge between the preschool day and pick-up.
Learning Continues Outside
More space changes what children can do
Children spend approximately 1–2.5 hours outside each day, depending on the weather and season.
The outdoor environment gives children room to move faster, build bigger, experiment more freely, and work with materials that can be wet, muddy, messy, or unpredictable. During warmer weather, some learning sessions and projects also move outdoors.
Movement & Active Play
Monkey bars, climbing, running, obstacle courses, races, cooperative challenges, and team games build strength, coordination, endurance, confidence, and teamwork. Children also practice managing frustration, winning and losing with grace, and encouraging others.
Large-Scale Construction & Engineering
Blocks, tubes, wheels, connectors, and loose parts invite children to design structures large enough to enter, move, test, and rebuild.
This develops spatial reasoning, early engineering, planning, problem-solving, collaboration, and gross-motor skills.
Process Art
Outdoor art can be larger, messier, and less predictable. Children explore color, movement, texture, gravity, and cause and effect without working toward one prescribed result.
Sensory Exploration
Water, mud, foam, sand, natural materials, and changing textures invite children to pour, mix, scoop, transport, compare, and investigate with their whole bodies.
Practical Life
The mud kitchen, outdoor housekeeping, washing, sweeping, organizing, and caring for shared spaces develop independence, coordination, responsibility, and a sense of belonging.
Science & Nature Investigation
Outdoor experiments and close observation help children investigate weather, water, plants, insects, materials, motion, and seasonal change through direct experience.
Mealtimes to Connect
A warm moment together
Meals are part of our daily rhythm and a time for children to slow down, connect, and enjoy eating together.
Snack often includes steamed vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, broccoli, or baby corn, along with fresh fruit. Lunch usually features a warm soup made with meat broth, vegetables, and familiar additions such as rice or pasta.
Ingredients vary while keeping meals nourishing, simple, and familiar. Children are encouraged to try foods without pressure.
Good to Know
A few practical details about daily life
Is there nap time?
No. Our program does not include nap time. The day includes quieter moments through meals, stories, and calm transitions.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
No. We meet children where they are and work with families to support the potty-training process with patience and consistency.
What should my child wear?
Please choose comfortable clothes that can handle paint, water, sensory materials, mud, and active outdoor play. Learning can get messy—and that is part of the experience.
