Afternoon Guidelines and Schedule

Children who stay longer than four hours are required, by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), to have a rest period. The rest period occurs in early afternoon. The children rest on individual covered mats, and parents are expected to send in a blanket. These blankets are to be laundered by the parent, weekly. Mat covers are laundered by Harborlight. The mat of a sick child will be sanitized and air dried. The children may also bring any soft, snuggly bed time companion if this is a comfort to the child. The rest time will be implemented with regard to the child's individual needs, and no child will be expected to rest for an inappropriate amount of time. Alternative quiet activities will be available for children who finish resting while waiting for others to wake.

11:50 - 12:10 Children staying for lunch are brought by their teacher to the bathroom downstairs. The children wash their hands before going to lunch.

12:10 - 12:45 The children sit at the tables. The lunch boxes are opened only after all the children are seated. The children take out all their lunch items, place them on their placemats and put their lunch boxes under their chairs. After eating the children wash their hands and brush their teeth before going to play.
