Our Daily Schedule

We want your child to feel secure and independent, to move from one activity to another as easily and confidently as possible. And we want to provide a variety of learning experiences for a well-rounded education. So we plan a daily schedule with these goals in mind.

 

We follow this same schedule day after day. A picture schedule, posted in each room, helps children feel secure because they know what comes next. After a few months, children are amazingly independent. They tell us what they are supposed to do next!
