explore Penina's Rise N' Shine CHILDCARE daily Schedule

Our daily schedule includes breakfast, snacks, lunch, naps, outdoor free play/planned activities, indoor structured activities, trips to the park, specials visitors from our police and fire  department. We also do story time, puppet shows, arts and crafts, movies, and more. We utilize number, shape, color, and alphabet flash cards, sight words flash cards, stacking blocks,  age-appropriate toys, and much more to educate and entertain our kids. Our kids are assigned PreK books that we work out of. We encourage participation, but your child will not be forced to participate, and we'll keep you posted on the progress and what you can do at home to make learning fun and not intimidating for our children.
