Structure & Routine
Daily Schedule
Children thrive with predictable routines. Our daily schedule balances structured learning, creative play, outdoor time, meals, and rest.
Our Daily Routine
A consistent schedule helps the day run smoothly and allows children to complete goals and anticipate what comes next. While we make every effort to follow our written schedule, we also leave room to make adjustments based on the children's needs and interests, as well as the weather.
The following is our daily routine, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
