*This schedule is flexible based on the children’s needs. For example, if a child needs an extra nap or a bottle during these times, we will accommodate those needs into the daily schedule. At diapering times, all children will be checked. They will also be changed at any other time throughout the day if required.
6:30-8:30 – Children are arriving. They will be dropped off in room 6 (or another room depending on how many children are present), and play at centers.
8:30-8:45 – Get ready for snack. Children should get washed up, and the room should be tidy before sitting down for snack. The children’s diapers should be changed at this time.
