During their time in the Helpful Hippos classroom, the children will experience a morning circle time, small group activities centered around art, colors/shapes and texture table, and an outside recess time. Each child in our Helpful Hippos classroom is taking one nap a day, enjoying our nutritional menu, and learning to use utensils. Each child will be given an opportunity to be introduced to potty training as well. Our loving teachers will be spending time with all the children throughout the day.
