Camp Fire’s goal is to provide developmentally appropriate learning practices following the High/Scope framework for learning. This ensures each child is exposed to the right level of activities to reinforce their natural curiosity and allow them to be successful.

Infant schedules are set by the parents with the support of the Camp Fire staff because infant needs and schedules vary.

Below is a sample of a daily routine for our older children (18 months - 5 years) in the center. This is only an example and details are modified to provide developmentally appropriate practices by room, age and interests of children. 

Daily Routine: Example

• Clean-up, water breaks, and potty times are on-going and as needed
• Center activities and experiences include, but are not limited to: science, process-oriented art, wood working, reading/literacy, writing, home-living, blocks, math-manipulative
