A TYPICAL DAY AT SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH CHILD CARE CENTER
The teachers in each room have developed an individual schedule based on the ages of the children and their activities. These are approximate times for the general group. Please check the lesson plans posted in your children’s rooms for details for weekly activities.
Schedules are subject to change
Our classrooms have been arranged with equipment and materials appropriate for the ages of the children in each room. You will notice tables, chairs and toy shelves low to the ground for the children. Our shelves are filled with toys for exploration and learning about colors, shapes, numbers, letters and other concepts. Materials are accessible to the children at all times.
