Young
children, toddlers and babies enjoy a structured
schedule that allows for flexibility. A schedule
helps the day to flow more smoothly, allow
the children to anticipate coming events,
and aids in achieving a variety of goals.
I will adhere to my written schedule to the
best of my ability, keeping in mind that anything
can happen when children are involved. There
will be times when I have to make adjustments
to the schedule.
All
activities for the day are done within the
Theme-Based Curriculum (See Curriculum)
