Infants and toddlers need a regular schedule that is predictable but flexible enough to meet their individual needs and to take advantage of the learning opportunities that emerge continually every day. The daily schedule for the children is a guide; it provides a framework for planning and organizing the daily routine and play activities for them. The daily routines may be a little different based on the age of your child.
Infant Schedule
For infants we follow their biological needs; they are fed, changed, and set down for a nap as needed.
Toddler Schedule
