A typical day at Playhood nursery & co-working community

 

AM

[9am] Families arrive at Studio.
Morning greeting and mindful moment together at which point parents say goodbye.
Children begin their work cycle, either indoors or outdoors, choosing anything from vegetable growing to salt dough crafting.
Parents settle down to coffee and work in the tranquility of Home, hidden from their children’s gaze by our garden.


 

Lunch

A freshly prepared lunch made from quality, natural ingredients is served.
Parents and Educators meet to discuss a Montessori-framed topic e.g. tweaks at home to enable greater independence.
Younger children nap whilst older children venture to local amenities such as Hornsey Library or the Parkland Walk.


 

PM

Children engage in a group activity which might be a music class, parent led clay modelling or yoga.
A freshly-prepared light snack is served.
Late afternoon wind down begins with cosy story-telling and gentle music.
A subgroup of parents might meet to discuss a community initiative.
