Typical Schedule

A Typical Day in the Toddler or Pre-K Classrooms at Wesley

The optimal way to get to know more about the Wesley experience and its vibrant learning community is to come for a visit. We invite you and your family to come and experience Wesley.

Typical Schedule

Students in the Early Learning Centre can arrive as early as 7:00 AM. Those who have breakfast at school are expected to arrive by 8:00 AM. Otherwise, students should arrive for school before 9:00 AM.

Each day, our teachers provide exciting content to build upon the previous day’s learning. However, the structure of the day is essentially the same. This is to provide the routine, stability, and familiarity needed to help young students thrive.

Toddler Typical Schedule

A typical school day for a toddler will involve the following:

  • Two separate one-hour periods of outdoor time in our Toddler Playground
  • Two short, structured indoor learning periods (calendar, letters, numbers, colours, shapes, Bible story, etc.)
  • Small group activities (to develop sensory, cognitive, fine motor, language skills, etc.)
  • Washroom Routine (hand washing, diaper check, toilet training)
  • Meals (Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Snack)
  • Rest Time
  • Learning Centre Exploration (free play at various organized themed centres)
  • Bible Time with weekly ELC chapel on Friday mornings
