Every day at Chaverim is filled with excitement, exploration, and joyful learning. Here's a glimpse into what a typical day may look like:
Morning Circle Time
Our day begins with circle time, where children gather together for songs, stories, and discussions. This helps develop their listening and communication skills while encouraging a sense of community and belonging.

Throughout the day, children engage in various themed activities aligned with our curriculum. From art and music to science and mathematics, each activity is carefully designed to promote hands-on learning, problem-solving, and creativity.
Outdoor Play
We recognize the importance of physical activity and fresh air. Daily outdoor playtime allows children to explore the natural world, develop their motor skills, and appreciate the wonders of nature.
Snack and Lunchtime
Healthy eating habits are encouraged at Chaverim. Snack and lunchtime provide opportunities for children to develop independence and social skills while enjoying nutritious meals that cater to their dietary needs.
Rest and Quiet Time
We understand the significance of rest and rejuvenation in a young child's day. We provide a quiet and comfortable space for children to nap or engage in relaxing activities, ensuring they have ample time to recharge and regain their energy.
Exploration and Free Play
Unstructured playtime allows children to explore their interests, engage in imaginative play, and develop their interpersonal skills. Our play areas are designed to spark curiosity and provide enriching experiences for every child.
Closing Circle Time
At the end of the day, children gather once again for closing circle time. This marks a moment of reflection, gratitude, and celebration of their daily discoveries and accomplishments.
