Structure Meets Play-Based Learning

At Rainforest Academy, our days are built around consistency, nurturing routines, and engaging learning experiences. We provide a healthy balance of structured activities and open-ended play to support every child’s developmental stage and learning style.

From the moment a child arrives to the time they head home, their day is filled with discovery, creativity, connection, and care—all within a safe and eco-conscious environment.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

While specific routines vary slightly by classroom and age group, each day generally includes the following:

  • Welcoming & Drop-Off: A warm start to the day as children settle into their classrooms.
  • Circle Time & Group Activities: Group gatherings to build social skills and introduce the day’s themes.
  • Snacks & Meals: Healthy snacks are provided in the morning and afternoon. Parents are responsible for lunch.
  • Outdoor Play: Daily time outside supports large motor development, exploration, and sensory learning.
  • Learning Centers & Hands-On Activities: Opportunities for children to explore art, science, music, dramatic play, and more.
  • Quiet/Nap Time: A scheduled rest period is offered for all children during the day.
  • Creative Expression & Social Play: Children participate in structured and unstructured activities that support imagination and social development.
  • Afternoon Transition & Pick-Up: Calm activities help children wind down and reflect on their day.

Guided by Our Curriculum
