Daily Preschool Schedule

Our daily schedule provides children with a balanced routine that includes learning, play, meals, creative activities, social interaction and rest. The schedule below represents a typical day at Little Stars Academy Preschool in Arleta, California. Activities and timing may vary based on the age of the children, classroom needs and special activities.

A Balanced Day for Learning and Play

We believe young children benefit from a predictable routine while still having opportunities to explore, create and learn through play. Throughout the day, children participate in age-appropriate classroom activities, group experiences, independent play and opportunities for movement and social interaction.

Meals, Snacks & Rest

Our daily routine includes scheduled time for meals, snacks and rest. These parts of the day help children transition comfortably between learning, play and other classroom activities.

Meals & Snacks

Little Stars Academy provides two snacks during the day and offers a hot lunch program. Families receive menu information and may contact the school with questions about meals, food allergies or dietary needs.

Rest & Quiet Time

Rest needs may vary from child to child. Some children may not sleep during the day, while others may need time to rest. Sleep cots are available when a child needs a nap or quiet rest.

Different Ages,
Different Needs

Our daily schedule is approximate and may be adjusted to meet the needs of each classroom. Activities may vary depending on the children’s ages, classroom routines and special activities planned for the day.

Older children may participate in more academic and structured learning activities. Younger children may need additional time for transitions, play and rest.

Some children may not need a daytime nap. Sleep cots are available when a child is tired and needs time to rest.
