A day in La casa
(Infants & Toddlers · 12 months - 2.9 years)
Each day in La Casa follows a gentle, familiar rhythm that supports care and development through daily routines, play, and exploration. The flow of the day offers consistency and flexibility, helping children feel secure as they explore their environment, build relationships, and follow their natural curiosity.
Arrival & Welcoming
Children are greeted by familiar educators and supported through a calm transition into the space. Time is given to settle in through play, observation, or quiet connection, helping children feel comfortable and ready to begin the day.
Play, Exploration & Care
Throughout the day, children engage in open-ended play and exploration that supports curiosity, movement, and growing independence. Sensory experiences, hands-on materials, and opportunities for movement support both fine and gross motor development.
Care routines such as diapering, toileting, handwashing, and tooth brushing are woven naturally into the day and approached with respect and attention. These moments support communication, body awareness, self-regulation, and autonomy.
Outdoor Time & Nature Exploration
Outdoor play is a central part of the daily rhythm in La Casa. Children spend extended time outdoors exploring natural spaces, including gardens, sand areas, and mud kitchen experiences, where movement, sensory discovery, and curiosity guide play. Time outside supports physical development, confidence, and a growing familiarity with the natural environment.
Meals & Nourishment
Meals and snacks are calm, social moments that support nourishment, routine, and connection. Children are encouraged to participate in age-appropriate ways, feeding themselves, exploring foods, and sharing meals with educators and peers.
These shared moments gently connect children’s outdoor garden experiences with daily meals, helping food feel familiar, meaningful, and part of everyday life.
Rest & Afternoon Rhythm
As the day slows, children transition into rest and nap time in a peaceful, nurturing environment. Rest is supported through familiar routines and attentive care. After rest, children return to play, movement, and outdoor exploration.
Closing the Day
The day ends with gentle transitions as families arrive. Children finish play, reconnect with caregivers, and educators share brief moments from the day, strengthening the connection between home and school.
The day unfolds calmly from arrival to departure, held by a familiar and caring rhythm.
