Circle Time

Circle times are interactive group sessions that last around 30 minutes, where little ones sing, dance, participate in a story and learn key concepts in the target language.

All preschool CBA circle times will be outside this year, weather-permitting. If your child is not attending CBA in person this fall, a parent can enroll to participate in a socially distanced, age-appropriate circle time 2 or 3 days a week.  We strongly recommend a M/W/F or T/Th/+ schedule, so students can attend with the same cohort. 

Circle times will not be held in case of inclement weather.

Circle times are offered to 3- and 4-year-olds at 8:30am and to 2-year-olds at 9:15am.

Sample circle time routine:

9: 15-9: 20 Welcome and Free play

9: 20- 9:25 Organized games (rounds, etc.)

9: 25-9: 40 Circle: Students sit in marked places; good morning song and prayer; fun way to introduce concept or storytime; other songs with kinesthetic movements to close

Usually, a theme or story will be introduced on Monday, reviewed on Tuesday, a new theme or story on Wednesday, reviewed on Thursday, and Fridays might be more review or digging deeper into a theme.

Cost: $132 per month for 2 or 3 days/week starting Monday, October 5, 2020.
