Routines and Schedules

Supplying routines help motivate children and keep them on task.
Procedures promote safety, prompt the order of events, and signal what is next.
Being aware gives them stability and warrants a peaceful environment.
Schedules help develop routines and foster awareness so children feel some control over their movements.
Classroom schedules should be visibly displayed and reviewed often to give children a comprehensive view of the day. Some schedule examples show the order of circle time, restroom breaks, and play times.
Grasping what will happen next lets your child feel valued and aware of what, when, where, and why.
