A day in the rooms

Early morning
Arrival
A teacher greets each child at the room door, in Somali or English, and you pass on the news from home.
Mid-morning
Play and learning
Paper, paint and clay at low tables, then circle time with songs and a story.
Midday
Lunch at the table
Everyone washes hands and sits down together. The food is halal, and the older children serve themselves.
Early afternoon
Rest
Infants sleep on their backs in their own cots with nothing else in the cot. Older children rest on cots in their room, and a teacher stays with them.
Mid-afternoon
Outside
Sandbox, tricycles and a fenced yard, with layers and boots in winter.
Late afternoon
Pickup
A teacher walks each child to you. We release a child only to the people on your list.

Come see a day for yourself

A tour takes about half an hour, and your child is welcome to come along.
