Little Sprouts Day Routine
Arrival-9:30 Garden Play
Parents have the opportunity to chat with Jen, other parents and to settle their little learner to ensure a good start to the day before they say goodbye by 9:30.
9:30 Group Meeting and Snacks
We will sing songs, listen to each other share news important to their friends and chat together while we eat organic and wholegrain morning snacks provided by Jen. Yoga is also a good start to our day. Songs and rhymes will be in English and in Danish.
Seasonal garden produce will be part of our snacks as much as possible and Jen will bake fresh bread buns in the mornings twice a week. Little learners will be encouraged to help prepare snacks and come with healthy suggestions and ideas for morning snacks too.
10:00 Trips, Learning Through Play Activities
We have several wonderful nature areas in Karlebo to explore and go on little trips. Some days we stay at home and other days we go out. Either at home in the garden, indoor or out on a trip, we can investigate and explore with our wonderful activity suitcases. So far we have the following suitcases ready to go: birds, bugs, clay, water painting, forest animals and animal tracks, numbers, letters, musical instruments, wood work.
11:45 Lunch – picnics outside.
In case of very cold/rainy weather we can move our picnic to the greenhouse or indoors.
12:20 Storytime
A time to read, rest and gather our energy. We will snuggle up together with books and sleeping bags in our shelter. There is a mobile shelter available for story time and naps and a bigger shelter is being built. Stories will be in English and in Danish.
12:40 Nap /or Learning Through Play Activities with Literacy and Maths
Children in need of a nap can sleep while their friends engage in more activities with a natural link to maths and beginning literacy with mark making and phonics. There is a sleeping bag available for any napping children and children may bring their own stuffed animals too.
Jen will write a short daily diary on our Parent App and post some photographs, giving parents the opportunity to talk about the day with the children.

The Little Sprouts Facilities
willhave gotten Our child friendly garden is fully fenced and looks out over a large field with a forest backdrop. The garden has apple trees, cherry trees, berry bushes, vegetable and bee gardens and green lawn play space. There is a lovely playhouse equipped with play kitchen, chalk board and seating area. We have a large new outdoor mud kitchen available for all kinds of great herby sandy soup dishes as well as a sandbox. Bikes and scooters for all ages and a netted safe trampoline. There are swing sets and tents and picnic blankets for fun days outdoors.
We have recieved approval for a large outdoor shelter with build-in picnic bench for the rainy days. Our cosy stylish greenhouse is furnished not only with plants, there is a sofa area with pillows and seating for 6 people too and will be the base for our spring, autumn and winter morning meetings.
The guest entrance with guest bathroom will be available each day for Little Sprouts hand washing, toilet visits, diaper changing and will also be the home to our tote bags with spare clothes.
We have 4 lovely hens in a fenced off area in the garden: Noeleen, Iris, Elizabeth and Miss Emerald, as well as the friendliest fluffy white rabbit called Luna. They love to be fed grass, dandelions and grains by our little sprouts friends.
Our family has a child friendly whippet puppy named Pegas, who will be indoors during the day but might come outside to greet the children too shortly during the week. The real boss of the garden is our beautiful cat Ella, who loves attention and chasing sticks.
A wagon is available for bringing items and even some tired shorter legged younger little sprouts friends with us on trips around the friendly countryside village of Karlebo. We will purchase a high quality cargo-bike with approved seatbelts, rain cover and support battery.
