ircle time is a meaningful part of the day for young children in a Pre-School prepared environment. If well-planned, it has many benefits and should be considered an essential part of the daily classroom routine.
WHY IS CIRCLE TIME IMPORTANT? Circle time teaches patience and encourages interactions in a group setting. It fosters a sense of community as it tends to a child’s individual needs. A caring and supportive circle enhances a child’s self-esteem and confidence, while permitting freedom of expression among peers. Circle time is perfect for introducing and reinforcing classroom rules and routines.
