DAILY SCHEDULE

 
 

 

It is best to describe our daily schedule as a daily routine. Our daily routine is adapted to the children’s interests and needs. The length of time we spend during one part of our day may change from one day to the next, but the order of events throughout each day is predictable and consistent. A predictable routine helps children to feel secure and confident since they know what to expect.


Here is an example of what a typical day may look like:
