Small Group Instruction

At TMS, we prioritize building and strengthening relationships with our students through small group instruction and dedicated classroom support. By maintaining class sizes below state requirements, we are a nurturing environment that promotes healthier learning experiences. This approach not only benefits our students but also provides our teachers with the necessary support to create a collaborative and consistent classroom atmosphere. Ultimately, our commitment to individualized attention enhances educational outcomes for every child.

Our Daily Rhythm & Routines

Morning Circle

We welcome our students for the morning with warm hugs and hellos. As we prepare for the day, students review songs and concepts for the week, while interacting with their peers, and establishing a sense of self in the classroom.

Daily Focus

Each day students are engaged with daily activities that support the overarching monthly classroom themes. These lessons vary from ELA, art, math, science and music.

Structured Play

Students have time to engage in meaningful play independently, or in pairs. These activities foster both creative and new concepts of learning, while using familiar objects in the classroom.

PM Circle Time

Teachers and students reconnect for the afternoon for movement and story-time. This moment allows everyone to regroup and get started for the second-half of the day.

Independent Work

Developmental activities are set and rotated each week for students to engage in. These activities focus on fine motor, critical thinking and creative skills for a short work period. Students work independently and work on communication and conversational skills.

Free Play

At the top of the morning and end of the day, students are provided opportunities to explore and engage with materials in the classroom for play.

Snack Time

Students are provided a morning and afternoon snack break before/after outdoor play to replenish their bodies. Children are welcome to bring home snacks. Snack times are generally 9-10am and 2-3pm.

Lunch

Children come together and eat as a classroom. By connecting and nourishing their bodies, students are encouraged to engage in social interactions, while working on table manner skills. Lunch time occurs generally between 10:45-11:45am.

Nap & Rest

All students are provided and required an opportunity to rest between 12-2:30pm. Each child has an individual cot and infants sleep based on their own schedules.

Music Day

For our Spring Parent and Me performance, parents are invited to join in this potluck family-styled event. Children perform musical pieces based on their musical learnings from Music Friday's.

Parent Playdates

Parents will have the opportunity to join their child in the classroom, and come spend the morning with them as a special guest! We encourage parents to bring their child's favorite book to read for circle time!

Art Show

Each year, our program closes out the school year with our annual art show. These never before seen art pieces are placed on display for our families and friends to view. Enjoy some hors d'oeuvres, while kids enjoy fun filled activities!
