Daily Routine
A typical day at Swan Academy is filled with various fun learning experiences. Children will also be encouraged to show respect and care for the environment throughout the day. We trust children’s competency and foster independence. We do this by providing numerous opportunities for the children to take part in the daily routines and decision making whilst offering plenty meaningful praises to develop their confidence and self esteem. The following routine is a guideline. Exact schedule may vary depending on the children, weather and several other factors.
