Typical day
What’s a typical day for a guide
No whiteboards. No lectures. No stress. Just kids learning at their own pace—and you guiding them every step of the way

Start

9:00 AM
Build up the work
Independent Learning in Action
Each student dives into their personalized learning plan—math, reading, writing, and more—at their own level, on their own time. You float between them, answering questions, celebrating progress, and gently steering them back on track when needed. Think: mentor, not manager
11:00 AM
Keep up the fun
Move, Create, Explore
It’s time to breathe. Maybe it's a science project in the backyard, a nature walk, or an art session under a shady tree. You spark curiosity and help connect learning to life
12:00 PM
Break
Lunch & Laughter
Gathered around a table or picnic blanket, your learners eat, chat, and play. It’s not just a break—it’s a chance to build trust, empathy, and community
1:00 PM
Slow down
Flexible Finish
Students wrap up the day with enrichment, storytelling, journaling, or self-paced challenges. You’re there to guide, not control—to keep momentum without pressure
2:30 PM
Well done!
A Meaningful Goodbye
The day winds down. Kids head home feeling seen, heard, and proud of their progress. And you? You’ve just spent your day doing work that truly matters.
Remember
You’re not expected to teach every subject or prepare daily lessons. Your role is to create structure, offer support, and help kids succeed on their own learning journey—with tools and guidance from Sunny behind you
