Large-group time builds a sense of community. Up to 22 children and two adults come together for movement and music activities, interactive storytelling, and other shared experiences. Children have many opportunities to make choices and play the role of leader.

During this time, a small group of children meet with an adult to experiment with materials, try out new skills, and solve problems.
Teacher plans activities based on children's particular skills, children's interests and observations of the group. (F.E if one of the children is very excited about going to the zoo, teacher may plan to make some clay zoo animals with the group or if the child has problems with showing his feelings, teacher may organize emotions activity)
