Simply Unique Creations Daily Schedule
A schedule helps the children to become familiar with a routine, which helps them feel more secure and safe as they know what comes next. However, I do not use a rigid schedule. The schedule is flexible, may vary and is subject to change from time-to-time without notice. Our day's schedule certainly depends on the temperament of the children. We do a lot of hands-on learning activities that does not require a take home art activity everyday.
