We believe children do their best in a predictable environment.  Daily routines provide wonderful opportunities for children to learn about themselves and others.  Children feel comfortable when they know what is expected of them and what will happen next in their day.  They come to depend upon routines and look forword to them.  Drop off routines help children say good bye to their parents and help them to feel safe and secure in their child care environment. When children get use to a schedule, it reduces their stress levels and they learn to control themselves.  The following is our tentative schedule.  However, we do not want to be too rigid.  There is  plenty of time for flexibility in order to meet the needs of all our children.
