The Modern Schoolhouse

A Day at TMS

Every hour has
a purpose.

At TMS, no two days are identical — but every day follows a thoughtful rhythm that gives children the predictability they need to feel safe, and the variety they need to stay curious.

Daily Schedule

Morning

Morning Circle

The day begins together — reviewing songs, concepts, and welcoming each child into a warm, connected community.

9–10 AM

Snack Time

Social nourishment alongside physical. Children practice table manners, conversation, and care for one another.

Mid-Morning

Daily Focus

Rotating focus areas: ELA, art, math, science, and music — woven together through our weekly themed curriculum.

Mid-Morning

Structured Play

Independent and paired activities develop fine motor skills, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving.

10:45–11:45 AM

Lunch

A social experience that builds table skills, peer connection, and gratitude. Children help set up and clean their spaces.

12–2:30 PM

Nap & Rest

Individual cots provided. Restorative rest supports brain development, emotional regulation, and afternoon readiness.

Afternoon

PM Circle Time

Movement and story-time reconnect the group after rest. Children share, reflect, and re-energize together.

Afternoon

Independent Work

Fine motor, critical thinking, and creative skills take center stage in open-ended afternoon exploration.

2–3 PM

Afternoon Snack

A second snack break builds energy and social connection before the final stretch of the day.

End of Day

Free Play

Classroom exploration, friendship-building, and child-led discovery close each beautiful day at TMS.

Special Events

Music Day

A spring parent-child performance celebrating every child's musical growth throughout the year.

Parent Playdates

Morning classroom visits that invite families into the heart of what we do — and strengthen the school-home connection.

Art Show

Our annual year-end exhibition showcasing children's creative work to the whole TMS community.
