Lunch

After morning activities, children are provided with a healthy, warm lunch. During lunch time, adults provide a model for good table manners and assist children with their eating. It is important that children taste different foods and practise their eating skills. Lunchtime is an important part of the day when children have a chance to sit down, chat with their friends and teachers, and practise their table manners in a positive environment.

Story time / rest / sleep

Calming down and resting are very important skills for children. After a busy day, children need some quiet time to rest and perhaps sleep. During rest time, some children may sleep while others can listen to music or stories, which provides them with opportunities to calm down. We live in a busy and hectic world, so children need to learn from an early age how to calm down and rest.

Free play

Free play is an important part of children’s learning. After lunch and rest, children join free play at their own pace. Some children may start playing while others are still resting, considering each child’s individual rhythm.

Free play doesn’t necessarily mean children can play whatever they want. They might have smaller groups to choose from, such as playing with cars, dolls, or board games. Teachers might decide beforehand what types of games and activities are available.

Playtime itself is free, and the play can develop freely under the supervision of teachers.
